Dear Chris & Michael & Family,
When Christopher called to tell us Bobby was sick I can see Frank’s face go sad. He loved your Dad and they spent alot of time at work having fun with him. Alot of memeories made. I got to spend some time with him and Frank too on occasion. Your Dad was a gentle giant..A kind hearted person..perhaps too kind at times but never the less, I know where he is now–in Heaven, pain free and enjoying the part of life that comes next to us all. You will see him again..The body is just a shell for the soul..his soul will live forever,,,we’ll be in touch..Love you guys, Frank & Sandi Sacco xo

All of the members at the Durham Fire Company send our thoughts and prayers to the Cummings family during this difficult time.
Right now, when your loss is so fresh, it may be difficult for you to imagine that this pain will ever go away. But in time the blessing of God’s unfailing love will soften the hurt you’re feeling and bring your heart the peace, comfort and hope that it needs to heal. How? Revelation 21:4 tells us that soon everything that causes us pain, including death, will be gone forever. We also have the hope of our loved ones being resurrected here on earth, as Acts 24:15 tells us. I do hope you find comfort in this.
Though I do not know your loved one, I am touched by your loss. My heartfelt condolences.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Robert was a good friend in high school. We would wish each other happy birthday since we were born on the same day. I always remember going to Olde MacDonalds farm at the North Haven Fair reminiscing and asking him lots of questions about the animals. He was always great to be around.
