Frank Cummings Passing
Sadly, we must report that we must say good-bye to another of our un-sung heroes. Frank Cummings, Dad to alumni members Lisa, Kathleen and Lori Cummings, and husband of the late Virginia Cummings, who for years was the Assistant Manager of our organization, succumbed to a lengthy illness on Tuesday morning, November 4, 2008.
Many of you will remember Frank as one of the major fundraisers for the Little Flowers organization. Frank spent countless hours and energy campaigning local & state government and private enterprise for various sources of revenue for the "Little Flowers" girls. More importantly was the absolute verocity that Frank showed in not only spearheading these self-appointed campaigns, but, the delight that he felt when his efforts reaped their just rewards on the organization. Frank is, truly, an amazing person. Our heart-felt condolences and our thanks in sharing your Dad with us go out to the entire Cummings family.
