Dear Family of Rev. Curtis C. Cummings,

Please except our condolescences. You do not know me, but I grew up in Everett, Washington and considered myself a friend of the Cummings Family. I was a teenager with Debra and Curtis. My husband and I had the priviledge of hearing Rev. Cummings when he came to Bailey some years ago. Please know that you're in our prayers.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Jackson

Ira, I'ntrene, Cerita:

Only five months ago Jimmelle, Jessica and I were in your shoes. Tho the pain may be unbearable at times, know that the God we serve still loves us. When you can't seem to pray, when the load gets heavy - just think of God's face and him in all of his infinite wisdom. Please know - if you need a shoulder...I have two. My girls and I will keep you and your girls in our prayers, mind and hearts. Rev. Cummings will always be remembered. God Bless You and...

Mrs. Cummings, how sad our hearts were when we learned of Pastor Cummings' death. You and the girls are in our hearts and prayers. We know that God will keep you strong during this time. We know he will be missed. But know that God in His awesomeness has given us memories that we can always remember. Love

As the day dissolve into the night,
We all remember him as a flame of love that gave us God's light,
His life was a reflection of God's love,
That open the heavenly window for accessing Christ grace from above.
