Animated Music Video of "Mother" (2025 Remaster) by Johnny Long - this song was written, recorded and released in remembrance of my mother Florence May Long, the greatest mother a son could ever hope to have. I love you mom, I can't wait to see you again.

Written, recorded and released for you mom. One of your last requests of me were to start working on my own music again. You said to me, "You were always a happier person when you worked on your OWN music." This was the first song I wrote during my mourning for your passing. You are the greatest mother a son could ever hope to have. Who knew that your request of me would find me four years later with 80+ singles and 5 full length albums released worldwide. I love you and miss you so much. On the fourth anniversary of your passing, this song for you started the avalanche of music from my heart and soul. I love you mom. "Mother" by your son. (If it wasn't for you and your lifetime of support and encouragment in music, this would have never happened): https://johnnylong.bandcamp.c…

My deepest condolences to my Uncle John Brown, cousins John Mark and Susan. Aunt Tootie, was a beautiful and happy aunt, just like her sister, Aunt Joyce, both were vibrant amazing women that led long and happy lives. She will be terribly missed but we will not forget her.

Johnny had invited me over to his Mom's house to one of their pre-Christmas gatherings in the early 2000's. This was a time when I wasn't able to visit my parents during the holidays and Flo made me feel very welcome. She was so sweet and kind to me and made me feel like I was a part of her family. I knew she was a very special soul by the way she treated me and everyone around her. My world is a brighter and warmer place because of Flo and I will miss her dearly. I send my deepest and most heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. Peace & Love to you all.

John and family, I am so sorry to hear about Florence's passing. She was such a neat person, I liked her a lot, and always enjoyed talking with her. I was just thinking about her too because I added another miniature box to my collection... I started the collection because I loved hers so much. 

Rest well special lady. Thank you for letting us turn your house into THE Halloween hotspot of the old neighborhood. 

Dianne
