I am so sorry for your loss Cummins family. As you remember the life and legacy of Barbara, may such good times be treasured. As you grieve know that God cares for you.-1Peter5:7

I'm so saddened by your loss. She was a great lady . I enjoyed getting to know her and your family at Shiprock when my late husband, Don Cluff went to teach in Shiprock in 1967. We made so many good friends there and many good memories. May the blessings of the Lord be upon each of you. Mary Cluff

I met this lovely lady in the 1980's.
Upon our meeting, we discovered we were descendants of Jesse
and Wealthy Ann Robertson McDaniel.
What a joy to have met this "cous" and a beautiful, charitable lady.
My sincerest sympathy goes out to her family.

RIP. Mrs. Cummings. You were a real pillar of any community you lived in. And most of all I loved how stern and devote you were about your teachings and feelings. For sure your Religion was foremost and practiced daily; and many of us still live by your high standards. If you didn't know your were a great role model. Our condolences to the family; we pray and offer blessings.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Please accept my condolences.

Although I have not seen you in a very long time, I think of you and your mom every time I pass your old house. Blessed to have known your mom. You and your family will be in my prayers.
