To All of Brother Cummings Family,
I just want to let you know I'm thinking of you and to offer my sympathy in this time of your loss. I will remember Brother Cummings wonderful gift of musical ability, and what a nice Christian man he was.
I enjoyed Bro. Cummings leading singing at camp meetings. I appreciate his life and am praying for his family.
So very sorry to learn of Bro. Cummings passing. A true Saint of God! I will always miss his singing!!! What a terrible loss for those left behind, what a wonderful gain to heaven!!! My condolences to the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. May our loss bring about good works. Bro. Cumming was an outstanding example of a Christian and Godly man. I feel this loss so deeply, as I know many do.
So sorry to hear of brother Cumming's passing.
I remember the songs he sang in that vibrant distinctive voice he had.
"The Lord said, Stand up Paul....I'm counting on you. "
He and sister Almeda visited my mother-in-law, Maurine Van Buren during her last illness and sang to her and with her and made a recording of it for us. What a blessing.
Sister Almeda, my heart goes out to you on your loss of another wonderful man of God and I pray that you would be comforted.
Praying as well for the Cummings' children whose parents are now in Heaven together.
God bless you all.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. The family is in my prayers. Bro. Cummings was a great example to me. I appreciate his faithfulness. May the Lord bring great comfort to each of you.
I am so sorry and heart broke to hear of your dad's passing. The many memories are locked forever in my heart and head. What an awesome man heaven has called home. I am praying for you all.
I'm really sorry for your loss my friends, I always respected your dad, for the simple reason he always respected me as he did everyone.
Today is one of mixed feelings. I learned of the passing of one of the dearest saints Bro. Cummings. My heart is sad for the family knowing their hearts are broken but rejoicing that my brother in Christ is now rejoicing on the streets of Glory.
When my family began attending God's Acres in 1970 Bro Cummings was one of the very first ones to welcome us to the services. I was a teenager but he made such an impression upon my life!! I dearly loved hearing him sing the songs of Zion with Bro. Hanley, and Bro. Myers and when he led the songs service his voice rang out so beautifully. Bro. Cummings was always there, singing the songs of Zion from the depth of his heart, "I Just Want To Thank You Lord", and praising God for his goodness. He stayed strong in his faith, his service regardless of what came his way, his love for the saints & the Lord never waivered! Bro. Cummings fought the good fight of faith, now his race is run now he can truly sing the song with the angels in glory "I don't live in a shack near life's railroad, I don't catter to what sin may bring; but instead I'm surrounded by angels, And I live in the house of a King"! He stood firm remaining faithful serving the Lord with all of his heart putting God first in all things. Bro Cummings loved his family so very, very much & when he'd speak of them many times with tears in his eyes you could feel the love in his voice for each one of them.
I dearly love Bro. Cummings & his entire family. My heart goes out to Sis. Almeda & the entire family. I pray the Lord will wrap His loving arms around you bringing the comfort, peace, strength, guidance and grace needed as each one of you journey down the path life has taken. Even though Bro. Cummings will be greatly missed he will never be forgotten.
Brother Cummings, you were truly a godly example of what it meant to give your all to the service of the Lord. Your faithfulness to the work of the Lord and your desire to see the word of God spread has been an inspiration to us all. We loved to hear you sing for the Lord and I personally enjoyed the privilege of getting to play piano for you from time to time and to play for you for congregationals! There were many times in my young christian life that I looked at your life and your desire to work for the Lord and said "I want to be used like that someday". I am so thankful for the opportunity to have known you. You were a blessing to my life as well as many others. We will miss you.
So sorry for your loss he was such a great man and a great man of god,he will be missed
