My deepest sympathy in the loss of Mrs Cummings. Mrs Cummings was the perfect mom always home when we were outside playing. It has been a long time since I saw her. Unfortunately I lost touch when you moved.
I grew up playing with Patty on Rodgers Street. We liked to play in the pine trees in her back yard when we were little. The last I remember was Patty’s wedding and how perfect Mrs Cumming had everything and she was always so calm.
I hope you have many good memories of the good times. I am very sorry for your loss.
