Ray, Rita, Ethel . . . So saddened to hear of the lost of your Mother, my dear Mrs Cunningham. Spending my early years and always finding myself spending the night with the Cunninghams has always been a pleasant memory of my youth. Your mother always accepted me and "always" made me feel welcomed. What a marvelous and saintly woman she was. Years slipped, but never the memories. May the Lord continue to Bless and protect you and your Families and may this sadness, for now, be your strength as God sees you through to better days. Peace be with you . . . Sherlon Ferguson

Cunningham family, life has a way of bringing changes whether we are ready or not. When our love ones past from this life to eternity, our hearts grieves the "ache of absence" of their physical presence. The grieving process is different for everyone and there is no perfect timeframe. Time helps us deal with it better as each day passes. Continue to cherish the memories of Mrs. "C", keep her legacy moving all the love that is deposited in each of you, and know when our time comes, we can join our loves ones once again.

To Ethel and Family, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to each of you, and oh how I loved Mrs. Cunningham!

When I began as the night secretary at Fifth Baptist Church in 1989, I worked directly under Mrs. Cunningham, and what an honor and privilege it was to be guided by such a bright and shining light, with the BIGGEST and most beautiful smile.

I will always love and cherish the love she always showed me from the very first day we met, and even now whenever she saw me.

May God comfort your hearts and give you peace in the midst of this storm.

Blessings,

Amanda Massenburg Montague
