A Tribute to my Husband
He will live in the hearts of the friends he made and be known always for the foundation he laid.
Because Goodness and Fairness never die-- rhev no shin 5m* on like sun in the skv.. Just as Honor and Truth endure forever,
Death is powerless to destroy or to sever.... So his gallant soul has taken flight into a land where there is no night, He is not dead, he has only gone on to a brighter, more wonderful dawn.
Day by day I realize more and more that nothing really matters in this world except love - the love we receive from others and the love that we give in return.
-With much love, Mrs. Wilhemina Cummings-
