Oria Mae Long

For almost 2 years in Cleveland, Ohio, we met in a group which subsequently was called “The Circle of Love”. Oria was apart of that circle and that’s where Pastor Jennings and I met her. Each Thursday evening we met, read the Word, prayed, cried, laughed and loved together. God brought us together for such a wonderful time. I will forever remember those very precious moments and cherish the day that God put Oria, Wanda and so many others in that circle to grow in Him. We are praying for the family.

I offer my love and deepest sympathies to Oria's family. She was an amazing woman and deeply spiritual. While we are grieving, we take solace in knowing that she is only resting awaiting Jesus' return. We are praying for peace that passes understanding. Yours, Bithiah Carter

You are in my thoughts and prayers Marquita and family. May God wrap His loving arms around you and give you peace while we look forward to seeing Oria again on Christ's return.

In striving for some peace and understanding during this difficult time it is crucial to remember that we are living in a fallen world where for divine purposes.... our pursuit of godliness will be tested and tried again and again. Of greatest assurance in God's plan is that a Savior was promised, a Redeemer, who through our faith in Him would lift us triumphantly over those tests and trials, even though the cost to do so would be unfathomable for both the Father who sent Him and the only Begotten Son who came. It is only an appreciation of this divine love that will make our own lesser suffering... first bearable, then understandable, and finally redemptive. May the peace that comes from the memories of love shared...comfort you now and in the days ahead. You are my family. sis Beth

We are praying that God’s comfort will surround all of you in this trying time in your lives and His love will be felt surrounding you. The love Oria shared will always be in our hearts and her lovely smile we will remember when we think of her. She loved to share the word of God with others and especially the young people in church as A Y leader , I would hear her tell them “you know better “when they were doing wrong but it was all out of love. Praying for all of you Aaron and Lorine Carter and family

My condolences to the family may she rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to you and your family and friends. I pray that this message will bring you comfort and peace that passes all understanding. May God continue to richly bless.

Rest in peace my dear darling sister in Christ,your bravery and fearlessness is a true inspiration to all of us. You may have been afraid,but your trust in our dear Saviour carried you through. We will meet again in the by and by. Love you my sister.

The first time I introduced O as my sister, she said, "I'm not her sister by birth, but..." she never got to finish that sentence because I popped her on her head??? and said, "You're as much my sister as those born to our mother!! Don't you EVER attempt to explain again because it's nobody's business!!!!" That was over 40 years ago, and she never did again. I loved ? ♥️ her with all my heart. She was beautiful, always smiling, and I loved to hear her laugh. She NEVER, EVER lied to me. She was open and honest about herself and about me. She didn't gossip; she never spoke a harsh word about anyone in my presence. No!!! I'm not saying she was perfect. She had her faults and imperfections to overcome, but those were between her and God, and I loved her, regardless, just as she loved me with mine. I will miss our honest and deep conversations, our disagreements and our verbal battles...they were always in love, and we ended them with prayer.? I will not grieve because she would not want me to, nor do I want to. I am angry ? because the enemy of our souls brought death. God never meant this to be, but through Christ He provided eternal life to all those who would trust Him and serve Him in loving obedience. Therefore, I can smile? and rejoice because I believe my sister and I and countless others "shall soon behold Him face to face." To our family, I say, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Look up!! For our redemption draweth nigh."??????

Sister Oria, I remembered your distinct voice, I Caint forget you. Sleep on till we meet in heaven.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I thank God that I got to know Oria, who truly loved the Lord. We went in the community seeking souls for the Lord. God has prepared a beautiful mansion for Oria and all those who love Him. Rest in sweet peace, my friend, until resurrection morning.

Praying for you family. May God keep you in his arms.

You were truly an amazing soul! I love U & will miss U dearly… RIP!!!

My condolences to the family, my sister in Christ is resting in peace now, waiting for Christ' return. See you soon my sister

I cannot believe she is gone but asleep until the life giver comes to take his children home with him. To the family, our deepest condolences from my family to you are in our prayers.

You will be missed. We love you!

May our Lord Jesus Christ keep u in his heart always in eternal peace as you do deserve.

A faithful soldier of Jesus now resting in peace. She was faithful to the last. We will dearly miss Oria. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. It's a sad parting, but this is not the end of the story. May her inspiring life and faith encourage us to be present for that great and grand reunion on the morning of the resurrection. His promise is true. Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Prayers to the entire family as they grieve the passing of their loved one, Sis Orio Lang.

Oria, what can I say about you she was tiredless and a wonderful woman of God. She faced a lot of challenges in her life but she always put her needs aside to tend to the needs of others like myself, I'm in a wheelchair and can't drive any longer she came to my house on the 12th of every month just to shop for me, I'm gonna miss Beautiful as I called her even when she lost her hair she was a beautiful woman with a lot of Christian love to share. I'm gonna miss her Bible Studies and the knowledge of who Jesus was and is. Rest in JESUS my friend til we meet again ❤️

See you in the morning.

I will miss my friend. I will miss our morning talks and prayers. She believed in her heavenly Father and His Son her Saviour. She now rests from this evil world awaiting the Trumpet Sound. My God bless and comfort her family in the days and years to come as a result of their loss without her. Blessings ?

Oria's heart for her God, people and life has been a very real blessing to me. It was a privilege to have been touched by her life. May God fill the large gap Oria has left in many lives. May sorrow be eased by the memories of Oria’s joy and peace.

May our God and Savior comfort the family during this sad time! May you find peace and hope in the words of Jesus, “ Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25

Prayers to the family as they grieve the passing of their loved one, Oria.

My dear friend has gone to sleep, awaiting the Savior to awake you with a new, immortal, perfect body, that will never get sick or die again! Hallelujah! I miss you sis, but I know I will see you on that sea of glass with all those that have hid their life in Christ! Thank you for the good times we’ve shared and the love that we had for each other in Christ!

I will truly miss Oria.

Rest In Peace

Dear Family, Please accept my heartfelt condolence on the loss of your precious beloved one. Having known Oria since we were in our teens and maintaining a close sister-like relationship with her throughout all the years of our adult lives, her passing leaves an emptiness beyond words. My memories of her are endless. She was much more than a friend, but one whom I claimed as my sister. I could always depend on her unbiased, Godly wisdom whenever I felt a need to share something of concern. A woman who loved Jesus with all her heart, she demonstrated and shared that love with all whom she met. As grown adults, when I and most of my seven siblings gradually left the home of our youth in Cleveland, Ohio and moved back to the place of our birth in North Carolina, I shall always remember with great fondness Oria's decision to leave Cleveland and establish her home in North Carolina, also. We continued our friendship individually and as a family enjoying leisure time with one another, as well as working closely together in the Reidsville church. She never shied away from the work of the Lord, but used her many God-given gifts for the building of His Kingdom. I shall sorely miss my sister, but I look forward to that "great day"............ "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:4

My Deepest Condolences ? ❤️!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.

Oria Mae Long
