Grandad,
I cannot beleive you are gone. You were someone who I thought would always be around. Even though I may not have shown it much, I do love you very much. It also makes me feel better knowing you are with your mom and dad, and Ida again.
So I will remember you with all the fond memories I have of you. You will allways be in my heart. And no, I don't think it is all the Beatles fault.

Dear Betsy and Ceci,
We learned the sad news of your father's passing from Lois. He was a wonderful, thoughtful next door neighbor to us for many years. When we last visited him several years ago, it occurred to both Bob and me that he also provided a model to emulate for how to negotiate that last trimester of live. Our sincere condolences to the entire Cummings family. Bob and Dana Fischer
