Dear Daniel,Kathy,Christine and Elizabeth
I am really grateful that I could share the last part of your father’s and grandpa’s life. He was such a unique, intelligent person, and very kind. His mind always worked in a very interesting manner; and he had a great sense of humor(which made him a very easy person to be with).
He loved all of you so much, and his granddaughters gave him so much joy.
He was so proud of his son, and he told me so.
I could never forget Daniel or his family.
Saxon H.Strzelecka
My Prayers and Condolences.
My grandfather was Thomas E. Cummings, Daniel’s brother. It was such a large family that I really never got to know Daniel or his other brothers and sisters, but the stories about Daniel were consistent with Saxon’s account. I know you will miss him!
Bill Cummings.
I was sorry to hear Dan had passed away. We correspeonded over the years and he was very generous in sharing family history and photos. My grandfather Joseph H. Cummings was his cousin.
With our deep sympathy Dan.
Sincerely,
Ralph Ruebner

To the Cummings family, I’m very sorry for your loss. No matter how much time passes we still feel the loss of our loved ones and view death as God does, an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) May you find comfort and hope in His promise at Revelation 21:3,4 that shows soon there will be no more death, and we can see our loved ones again. Please accept my deepest condolences.
