If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again

To my Cummings Family. First of all know that you all are loved very much. I know that we don't see each other as much as we should but you all are in my thoughts more that you know. I am so sorry that you had to cross this road so soon again. Aunt Ruby was a beautiful woman both in and out. Take her legacy and build on it. She has moved on but it is now up to you all to continue to carry the torch. I love you all and you are in my prayers. I will see you real soon.

Well momma cummings, I'm at loss for words. I want to be strong and say your in a better place and your finally with the love of your life. But I am selfish. I find myself wishing you were here just for the sole purpose of seeing your beautiful smile. I promise you I will celebrate your life and all the love and happiness you brought into our lives but just give me some time to mourn your passing. I love you and I thank you for accepting me as a part of your family.

Although it wasn't much and was within the last months of her time with us, she lifted my spirits and reinforced my belief that there are truely wonderful, giving people who step up to make a difference in the lives of others. I wish I had the opportunity to know her for a much longer time. You must be so proud and greatful for her accomplishments in life.
