Thinking of you during this time of loss. While I didn’t know Mr. Cumbee, I know he greatly influenced you with wonderful memories and life lessons that will continue to have an impact on you and your family. You know he is in a better place now, with no more pain, and he would want his family to make this a time of celebration for a life well lived.
Keeping you and your family in my prayers,
