The Cummings Family,



What can one say in a few short lines about a woman who impacted so many lives so deeply, including mine. Despite the years away from the family, I still, today carry with me many memories and life lessons that I have learned from Pat. For that gift, I am forever grateful and truly blessed to have known her. She will always be my favorite "Mother-in-law." My deepest sympathies to you all during this most difficult time.
