Dr. Philip Lesley Cumbia

Heartfelt love is expressed.

Ms. Cumbia,
I was so saddened by the passing of Reverend Cumbia. (Dr. Cumbia) He married me way back in 1969 at Deep Run Baptist Church. I have been attending First Baptist for the last 2 months and had just a month ago asked about you and Dr. Cumbia. The person I spoke with told me he had been real sick. I am so sorry and my prayers go to you, Dean and Alan and family.

Such wonderful images and thoughts immediately come to mind when we think of you. Some people in this world you cannot forget and you and Phil are definitely on top of that list. We hold your friendship close and are blessed to have had you in our midst.
Our thoughts & prayers, Wesley and Alice Whitaker

I remember Rev. Cumbia when he was at Nomini Baptist Church. He spoke to my graduating class at Washington and Lee High School and I was so impressed with his quiet
and compassionate nature.I recently
loss my husband of 42 years so I can
relate to the loss of a loved one.
May God be with you all.

Max, I was deeply saddened to learn about Rev. Cumbia. He was extra special to my family and me. I remember so well the day he baptized me in the Rappahannock River. I also remember the wonderful times my family had with him when he first came to Nomini Baptist Church. He always had such a loving smile. He will be truly missed by all. You and your family are in my prayers. I am so glad you two got to visit with Mother. She is 92 and continues to inspire me with her life.

Mrs.Cumbia, Allen and Dean,
I was shocked to read this sad news of Mr. Cumbia's passing. My life has been so blessed in having him and you all in my life. He was one of a kind. I love you all and he will be sadly missed. I remember fondly all the times at Deep Run and the sleigh riding in the winter and painting the barn and feeding your cats. Bible school at Deep Run and I could go on and on.
Bless you all and you have my heartfelt deepest sympathy.

Mrs. Cumbia and family,
Rev. Cumbia was the salt of the earth and it was always a delight to see him and talk to him as he was so very kind and gentle with his words. He will surely be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him.

God Bless,
