My sincere condolences to the Cumming’s family. Agatha was such a caring person. As a coworker with her at the Town of North Haven she always went out of her way to help others. May she R.I.P.
Our sincere condolences to your family. For several years Agatha gave our baby ducks a good home after our Easter photo shoots. We were always happy they went to a good home. We even saw them at the North Haven Fair. Agatha was very generous and kind to us. We are very sorry for your loss.
My Deepest Condolences to the Cummings family. Walter and Patrick I wish I could have been there to show you how much your mom meant to me and my family. Working with her at Public Works was like a big family, She was our work Mom. She was a very caring individual. I cherish the time we had with her. Again so sorry for your loss.
We only knew her from the fair each year. She was a true blessing to the human race. God took her home to present her to all the saints and angels in Heaven. We will truly miss seeing her smile and kind words. Till we meet again we will never forget you. May God bless her family.
