My Aunt Mary will be missed. She was so incredibly kind to me, playful, supportive and loving with every interaction we had.
I always enjoyed talking with her, especially since we lived so many miles apart.
As a kid, she understood & embraced my hyperactivity (now know as ADHD) and encouraged my sports and especially drumming to channel that energy. I can specifically remember her steadfast encouragement as my time with drumming increased throughout middle school, high school and college. Her father, my grandfather, was also a drummer, decades before, and I was happily shocked when she told me.
My favorite time with Aunt Mary is when she flew across country to attend my wedding!!! It was a special treat to have her there, and I have a cherished picture of her in our wedding album.
To all my cousins whom I have not seen in so long, please feel my deep condolences and hugs for your loss. And then, a playful high five and sincere smiles!
Love Ruth Zimmerman Cummings
