Shelley,
I recently saw a few posts on Facebook that your mother passed. I'm very sorry for your loss. 

Our deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother.

Mrs. Long was my first grade teacher and the reason that I became a teacher. She was simply the best.  Shelley - I am so sorry for  your loss. Your mom was one of a kind - the kind we need more of today.

My sincerest condolences to the family.

May your treasured memories and the comfort from God's Word grant you strength and peace during this most difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Shelley. May the Lord comfort you in the days ahead, and give you sweet memories. Love and prayers.

Shelley, Your Mom was the best.  I remember her from Indian Village School. She and my aunt Selma Bolyard were good friends.  Thinking of you...

Shelley, I'm so very sorry for your family's loss. Your mom was my 2nd grade teacher at Indian Village and she was a wonderful teacher and a lovely, funny lady. There was a time we would run into each other frequently and she would always take time to talk and catch up. Your family is in my prayers

Shelley, so sorry for the loss of your mother. It is never easy when that happens. She certainly lived a long fruitful life. My mother always enjoyed seeing and talking with her at Karen's Kitchen in their later years. God bless.

So sorry to hear of your mother's passing Shelley.  You and your family are in my thoughts. She was a beautiful lady, just like you.

So sorry for your families loss. I did not know Ivadine but do know how important a teachers' life is in teaching and guiding many children. What a great life to celebrate!

My deepest condolences on the loss of your Mother, Shelley.

Shelly, During your time of tremendous loss of Ivadine's parting, love and prayers are being sent your way to comfort you, to have you remember all the wonderful memories that were made during her long life. Obviously she touched, as you have, many people's lives. Surely the empty space left will create sorrow, but the joy of knowing you were privilege to share part of her life, hopefully will help. Proudly and continuely talking about her meaningful life over time will ease her departure by you sharing those memories and thoughts with others. Her unique name is beautiful and I'm so happy you both shared your times together. Calibrating her life when the time is right is your honor to have. My condolences to you and your family during this time of her departure.

So sorry for the loss of your mother, Shelley. May your memories be a comfort.

So sorry for your loss, Shelley. May your many memories sustain you through these difficult times.

So sorry for your loss. She lived a long life. Prayers with you and your family.  Vicki Toscos Moring

Shelley,
So sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful woman in many ways.
From a former SSHS '67 grad.

What a wonderful life Ms. Long shared with many. Prayers are with Shelley and family.

One of my most memorable teachers and a great neighbor too. My condolences to her family and friends.

Shelly----I was a teacher with your mother.  She was such a wonderful friend and teacher.  She helped me so much as a new teacher---forever grateful.  She talked about you and loved you very much!  Blessings and comfort!  Sandy McDougall

Mrs. Long was my absolute favorite in 7th grade.  She was a lovely woman.

Mrs. Ivadine Long was my 2nd grade school teacher at Indian Village Elementary school. She has been one special lady in my life !  I will always remember the times that we had lunch together at Halls, Mr Coney and the Famous Karens Kitchen all on Bluffton Road. Also, all the visits we shared together. Love You, Will Miss You and God Bless You !    Jerry Toor

I was all ways happy to see You and  Mom Pauline.Thank you for the nice talks we use to have.
Rest In Peace.
Until we meet again.

Mrs Long was my second grade teacher I have great memories that I shared with her daughter.I will truly miss you.

I hope you rest in peace. Thank you for all that you have given to Fort Wayne and the world through your life. 

I am sorry for your loss.  Mrs. Long was my 2nd grade teacher and it was during that year with her that I decided I wanted to be a teacher.  She was caring, kind and taught me to love to learn.  I hope that through my years of teaching that I inspired my students as she inspired me.  I was blessed to have her for that year!

T was one of my favorite people that i have ever had  the pleasure to know  101 year old little lady that was mighty until the end. I will miss her so much!!! RIP
