Uncle Eddie died of lung cancer when in his forties. After WWII, he moved in with his parents and never left again.
Grandma and Grandpa Cummings (Louise Veronica Dietrich and Joseph Alyosius Cummings) did not have teeth for as long as I could remember.
Together, they made delicious turnips, mashed potatoes and Legs of Lamb.

This is such a sweet picture. So did they come from Ireland? Or was that a long time ago?
The Cummings clan originally came from Ireland, but my grandparents were born here. The Great Grandparents were all born in Ireland (except August Dietrich, who was born in Germany).
The girl up front is my sister Sally. I am in the striped tie. My brother, Greg, is next to Uncle Eddie.
Though that is the living room sofa we are sitting on, it is also Grandpa Cummings' bed where he slept every night.
