To receive a 3am text from your dad to tell you that he loves you?? Answering every phone call with “Hey Beautiful”. Every daughter should be so lucky! Rest in eternal peace Mr Cummings. 🙏🏽
I just love that he knew the contempt that many a darker complexion women suffer, no doubt he experienced seeing his mother and sisters or other women were treated and wanted his girls to know from a child that they were beautiful, intellectually inferior to no one and I am sure they were happy to have a dad that was there for them. So many young ladies grow up without dad there reaffirming their attributes.
Soooo beautiful.
Damn, he left 2 really strong woman, kudos, from another country I wish you well.
ISP BrotherWolf .... I heard he was executed for being a traitor to America people
@@debbiedejohn1069 Then why is Trump still breathing?
I hope they found the money before they executed him.
His girls don't remember him deadbeating on his child support
@@johnellis551 What kind of Vile Thing are you? You hide in unanimity, You Bismerch a deadmans character, You try to turn his two beautiful grieving daughters against their father, You Refer to him as being a deadbeat dad. Did you know Elijah Cummings or his family? Is your life that bad? You are Deplorable! The worst kind of being humanity has to offer. Pure Evil!
@@jeromejax8675 I CANNOT expand, in response ! None of us . . . is perfect ! These two daughters are reveling in their passion . . . for their Dad. Let them celebrate, in peace. As they've both said . . . 'we are all here, but once.' We must ALL learn, from our foibles . . . and become better, honorable souls . . . to/in this world, which each & everyone of us is 'enmeshed in, hopefully in becoming 'team players' of . . . to hopefully make this world, a better place ! 🇺🇸
I’m such a baby. She made me cry. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR DADDY WITH US. R I P
Me too.
💞💞💞😢
We all need a good cry once in a while. I started 5 seconds in 😢 Virtual hugs 🤗
Blessed are daughters who have fathers who love them.💕

Elijah your girl love you so much, because you gave her your best, make me cry in love and respect for you ❤
Made me also shed a tear because of the depth of her love.
Yea wicked man that stole from baltimore citizens and gave to your kids
Ms J Johns GOD is looking at you HE heard what you said. Anticipate your Accountibility unto GOD.
@@conclusion7637 So Glad that I will repeat it Elijah cummings is a wicked man and the world is a brighter place without him. Thank you God and please take hillary and shitz where cummings has gone.
I'm sorry you lost your Dad. That's hard to handle and I know the pain and loss you feel. Daddy's are right when they tell their daughters they are beautiful. Many prayers for your family.
Beautiful comments by both daughters. It's not easy to speak at your own father's funeral. Thank God for the time you had with him, and always keep the good memories!
What lovely ladies! The sign of a great parent is who they have become. He lead by example, God rest your soul.
beautiful post
Such beautiful tributes to their dad by his two beautiful daughters.
I wish my father was all that to me.
Eloquent and well spoken...his daughters exemplified grace and products of having been well raised.
You Ladies are both Beautiful and spoke so very eloquently, your Dad would be so godly proud of you! My condolences. Peace and Blessings.
ByFaith 123 Yes. Well done young ladies. Well done!
I didnt know Elijah but whenever I saw him and heard him I felt he was a noble man. I cry because I know that noble men are few and far between.
The goodness that pours from the words of these women, and the legacy that their father leaves behind, blocks out the dark emptiness on this page.
Lol
Wow, beautifully raised daughters by a loving, devoted and dedicated father. What an example to all parent.
How on earth can someone dislike this.Hey Americans. This is so beautiful and yet some people dislike it.We humans sometimes must have compassion. I don't see why someone with the normal senses can dislike this. I am beginning to doubt the mental ability of some Americans. Peace and love conquers all.
Kupong Valentine. People who dislike it are the trump supporters
@milo357 ok? Have some respect
cause he was stealing tax dollars from the people of Baltimore
I'm sure a lot of people will live better lives now that hes dead.
Thadius Sean and your source is?......drumroll.........I’ll wait.
LOVE....he knew his children and they KNEW him. O to be known, to touch a life and have a lasting beautiful impact. A father as you were, leaves a legacy to this world, your children! They will remember, honor and live your truth. Thank you for your service!!
He was a Great Congress man with two great children and wife.
His legacy lives on in his daughter. Rest in peace Sir.
@ I understand what you are saying. Baltimore is a very, very, very corrupted city.
Idk....
@@bishopreed3836 when they go low. We go high
If she's anything as traitorous and useless as her father, then she needs to die as well.
If she only spoke the truth about her dad .she would cry knowing that he a was corrupt a man that was anti GOD he was in the pocket of liberal anti GOD hating left a supporter of gay marriage
Thumbs down haters, get some love in your dark hearts and maybe you can understand the remarks of these beautiful, brilliant, respectful daughters.
I had a good daddy too, he was poor man worked hard to be sure we had our needs met, he was a kind man too, just left me this year to go to God. Rest his soul.
The haters are bots and trolls. No human being would dare stoop so low.
Beautiful ladies, just beautiful. Whew...got me in the library crying instead of doing my work. 😭
He loved libraries.
Absolutely beautiful. He would have been proud of such beautiful spirited ladies who carries the traits of him. My deepest condolences to the family of the honorable Elijah E Cummings. May you find peace in your time of sorrow.
God bless
Truly heartwarming loving message from daughter to dad.
How precious is the love of a daughter for her dad 😢
We need more black fathers like Elijah Cummings to help black women feel confident about who we are and who we can become. Black women are so underrated, and not given enough credit for all that we have endured.
I agree.
I agree He was a great man well said
They are both beautiful and poised.
🌹Yes🌹
Beautiful eulogies by his lovely and poise daughters
Beautiful.
She is beautiful. They both are.
Two beautiful intelligent women. Who deeply love their Father. God bless them & their Mother. Thank you for sharing your love for him with us. My sincere condolences..🙏❤
wow this is a beautiful legacy. rest in peace
Thumbs down people - something is very, very wrong with you. Beautiful daughters. Beautiful family and friends. Beautiful man. RIP Elijah Cummings. You are a very special being.
would you mourn for Hitler?
@@thadiussean9133 trump? nope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thadius Sean , lol Hitler? You’re reaching. I suggest reading the history of Elijah’s life and Hitler. That is , if you read.
@@lenielockett960 , @Democrat Resistance : don't feed the troll. He's clearly a farm bot.
Isn't it interesting, that virtually all of the people posting disgusting comments are accounts with little to no activity?
Coincidence? I think not. It's beyond repugnant how human beings could even think of stooping low enough, to use bots and troll farms to sow discord on a video of grieving daughters honoring their late father.
There really are no words to express the indignation.
Well said ladies! May your father rest in peace. He was a good man and he brought you up beautifully!
@LftHvyLftFst 🥱🥱🥱
Respect and sympathy to these women.
Yes
Lovely eulogies from Elijah Cummings' daughters. I almost broke down crying listening.
Despite your views on what he did while in office, how can you dislike children honoring their father in his death??? Losing a parent is super hard and yet and still people have to be super ugly... Smh...
My guess is these people haven't lost a parent. They have no idea what it's like to grieve and yet find the strength to deliver such powerful eulogies in honor of their late father. You've said it perfectly; regardless of their views of his time in office... common decency and empathy would demand these people show some respect, for the pain and loss these ladies are feeling.
@Tee Gee it's been 7 months and almost 7 days (to the hour) that I lost my dad. I couldn't help but choke up listening to all the eulogies for Rep. Cummings. I think there's no getting over the feeling of loss, and indebtedness we feel towards our parents; but I do hope it gets easier time.
God bless.
She be black
Lady that woman's father was a sellout...he did NOTHING for Baltimore yet he had bass in his voice for people who VOLUNTEERED TO COME HERE for Philando Castile and alton sterling he mispronounced their names because he didn't care...he was about money hoes and slamming Cadillac doors...what legislation did he pass that helped the black constituents of Baltimore? He was for self thats his legacy!
People are mean.
Beautiful, messages from his daughters!! The apple doesn't fall far from the Tree!!!
Beautiful! Beautiful Words, Beautiful Eulogy. R.I.P Elijah Cummings.
Jerome Jax - I hate to bring up an ugly image in the tribute to this honorable man, but for all who read these messages from another country, this man and these eulogies is what I hope people think of when they think of the USA. We are not at all like that vile thing inhabiting our White House now. He will be gone and in his place will arise many honorable people who are truly representative of what our nation was and will be again.
Shirley Rombough you mean Obummer , he’s a devil just like most of these Dems, Cummings was a Traitor, and was Executed just like McCain just like all man bush just like many many more to come I keep hearing it
Debbie Dejohn I feel sorry for the people who gave you life and call you their child.
27capricia I feel sorry for you, you don’t know the truth!!! Cummings was a very evil, demonic , satanic worshipper !!! Um glad He was executed for treason!!! Wake up!!! Still in mommies basement, I see!!!
Debbie Dejohn I really think you should start talking your meds again....gosh those damn voices in your head.!!!
Has me in tears. His daughters are every bit of their wonderful and beloved father who we will all miss😢💖 hope his daughters carry on their father's legacy.
Beautiful, strong daughters; a true legacy. These are the kinds of people we need leading our country.
You are both beautiful women and your dad shines through you, and I see now that you shined through him. God bless you both and may your dad find joy in heaven.
These young ladies with having a great father, are more than just allright, they're sensational ,the true winners of life, not just with an outer beauty, most healthy people can have that ,but the kind of powerful beauty and self confidence, that no amount of money can buy.
This was a beautiful tribute. Elijah Cummings was truly an honorable man.
I cried, this was so touching. May he rest in peace.
@Jim Jon This video is for people with hearts! Get off the video!
@Jim Jon you will burn in HELL standing by SATAN!!!!!
Well educated Girls ..

I hope one of them run for office
@@nicolespain1873 The one with Glasses, the younger.
@@nicolespain1873 I would love for the mother to run for his seat.
A beautiful tribute from a daughter to her father. ❤️
What kind of person dislikes this eulogies of daughters to their Father. Shame on you.
They are paid trolls - not humans
All 155 of those trolls whom will never ever know the blessing of love and being loved! Silly and simple minded haters!!!!
Miserable disgusting haters of love. Those who dislike this post don't like themselves and hate seeing love spreaded abroad.
Russian bots
The kind of person who’s not so fortunate as to have received real love!
Dear Jennifer and Adia ... that your lovely and loving words would be heard and blessed by thy father from the realm that he has now entered.
Thank you, dear publisher 'Global News' ... even in the sadness of bidding goodbye to an honourable gent.
I love what she say about her dad. He was just a dad and l understand and l miss my dad. No big titles, just daddy, and he always came to see about me. l have many degrees, but he was always there. l miss you daddy and you have always loved me.
Apparently some people never learned "if you can't say something nice about somebody, don't say anything at all." RIP in God's heavenly kingdom Elijah E. Cummings
I wish the people of Baltimore could say, if you can't spend our money right, don't take our money at all. RIP taxpayers money, it's gone. Thank Elijah for that.
I’ve watched his wife’s and Hillary’s tributes. Both contained instances of sarcastic and divisive vitriol. I guess that golden rule doesn’t apply to friends and family of the deceased, in this case.
Marliss Lavin Oh He's Definitely Not In God's Heavenly Kingdom. You have to be a Good person at least to make it there. And you really shouldn't give anyone False Hope, That isn't nice. Just Say RIP That's kind enough but lying about it isn't the way you will make it there. So I will say it RIP Elijah
Truth speaks louder than niceties. He was trash and his children are supporting racist evil thieving trash and so are you.
@@Megan-he7xf your parents are total trash, it's so obvious!
Absolutely Beautiful Ladies! Rest in Peace and in Power dear Elijah Cummings!
What a beautiful tribute from his daughters so amazing
This was truly an inspiration! Thank you.
Such a BEAUTIFUL SPEECH from his beloved daughters, that made cry....💔💔💔💔😪😪😪
Such eloquent and beautiful eulogies!
Oh how I wish that I had had the love of a dad. These ladies are so blessed and expressed their love, joy and gratitude for having him as their dad so eloquently. May they continue to shine, walk upright before the Lord, and making their daddy proud.
What a beautiful tribute from his daughters wonderful words may his soul rest in peace
So beautiful ❤️ I lost my Dad when he was 69 ten years ago, and there is something really special about a father/daughter bond. I could relate to every word Jennifer and Adia said about their Dad. The bond is eternal ❤️
Well taught his daughters. Man of honor father to his daughters and taught them to become powerful women of God. Standing on the promises of God. You daughters are truly blessed by God. Carry on his legacy. He truly loved the both of you. God loves you too! May you go forth and make a difference for others, just as your father did
God bless you continually
My love and prayers,

Wow! He was a great father, and a man of character. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤ RIP Mr Cummings.
From the first 40 seconds I couldn't hold back my tears 😭
Mr. Cummings was an amazing man and an absolutely wonderful father. May he rest in peace and glory with God forever.
@ Why so hateful
Destiny Dynamics in the beauty, brilliance, boldness, blackness in the seeds!
Dad and Daughters of Destiny.
My Daddy Says I am Beautiful!
As the daughter of a man with 5 daughters, I am grateful that we all have an exceptional relationship with our father. He was always there for us and always told us how beautiful we are. We are all strong women and we owe a lot of that to our father. We need more dads who tell their girls they are beautiful and show them real love.
wonderful speech and wonderful thoughts that she has shared abut her loving father,......Bless......
His daughters beautiful words would have made him proud.
Thank you for being a powerful speaker Mr. Cummings. You will be missed
Beautiful eulogies from beautiful daughters
This was truly an Honorable man he was a kind soul and had such respect for everyone!!! I was not much a person of politics but did love to watch Him at his work controlling the Oversight committee with knowledge and compassion. I can only imagine what a wonderful father he was and it is clearly seen here what he instilled in His beautiful girls!!!! I was shocked to see he passed when I turned the TV on!!! I feel President Obama is watching these girls as his own special bond he has with his own girls...it is amazing to see how extremely busy doing for ur country and still find time to be a great father!! RIP Elijah!!!’
Im am born and raised in Baltimore! I just want to thank you to these beautiful young ladies for sharing your father with not only the world but fatherless young ppl in our community. He always had kind words for those who neededit and encouraged the young ppl to do better. R.i.P. Mr Cummings
This brought me to tears my Father was the same. It is good to hear Love. Thank God for Good Dads.
Beautiful tribute. The life he lived spoke for him.🌹🌹💯❤️
CAN YOUR KIDS SAY THESE WORDS ABOUT YOU ? COME ON PEOPLE WE CAN DO BETTER!🙏😍🤗
AND WE ALL, MOST DO BETTER OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE DEPENDS UPON IT !🙏🙏🙏🤗😘☺😏🤔
Nothing short of beautiful and touching from these 2 very lucky women who had a father who loved to them, just as I do. Not everybody can say that as well as say all the heartfelt things that they said about their father. May Elijah Cummings rest in power.🙏
Beautiful words coming from beautiful daughters
"Swing Lo Sweet Chariot" Hon Elijah Cummings..beautiful wife, daughters...admired by many great as you were and are great
How I wish I had a dad like this kind gentleman. Wow, both these strong young women brought tears to my eyes.
Fathers that carry their fatherhood with respect and love give love and care to their daughters,they grow to be strong women for community and humankind wherever they go.
I am so sorry for their loss 😔😔 God bless his soul may he rest in peace 🙏🏻 deepest condolences God bless you all
You were so very blessed to have a Father who did all he could to be a Father to you! I envy you! I pray that all he sowed into you two ladies will be part of the legacy you pass own. May his memory comfort you in the days ahead. God Bless you!
Hi Jennifer my friend you were a great friend at Howard my heart goes out to you and your family.
This is a wonderful tribute to whom seems a good father...very intelligent and beautiful daughters
MY CONDOLENCES TO THE CUMMINGS FAMILY..GOD BLESS THE FAMILY.....
What a beautiful family. It says a lot more about him. A great man!
R I P Mr Cummings
Rest in peace beautiful man May the angels take you under their wings and take you straight to our Lord
I'm hopeful that we'll see him live through these beautiful young ladies. Very well said. R. I. H.
Thank you for sharing your Father with us.
May God Bless and comfort you and your family. I admired your Dad because he had a loving heart. He was a great man with a good morale standard. I know your heart is hurting now but God is healing your hearts now. Enjoy your precious memories of your Dad.
That is love and that is beautiful
This is what love looks like! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderfully powerful and oh so humane Dad! Our country is better for his being!
or maybe they loving all the money they get that their daddy stole from taxpayers
Have a nice Dave and your source is???? Please provide a CREDIBLE link. I’ll wait. Or are you confusing Rep Cummings with Trump? Now there’s a thief.
@@haveanicedave1551 or maybe you've got it all wrong... and are just disrespecting a grieving family. I wonder how you'd feel if someone treated your family like that.
@Perp1exed, if Elijah was my father, I'd be embarrassed for what he's done to Baltimore.
@@haveanicedave1551 so what did he do to Baltimore?
We have lost a crusader of justice and humanity ! A sincere giant who defended the right of those who needed it the most ! I feel sad for everyone but truly for his family and friends for he was a great person and must have been even greater to the ones he loved ! God bless him , God bless his loved ones and may his dreams of the future become fact ! He will be missed !
To all who saw faults in this man I have a few questions for you “ when was the last time you marched, got hit in the head until bloody, and jailed for a cause that you could have ignored or avoided?” He was from Baltimore he didn’t have to go to the south. As a black woman who is forgiving of our current administration, I’m so grateful for this man and the many like him. I don’t have to ride the back of the bus or be afraid to look a white person in their eyes when we speak. I’m so proud to be an African American, Navy veteran who serves veterans for my living, but more importantly I’m proud that in this country we had Elijah Cummings. RIP sir
Classy, beautiful women. 😊
Such beautiful and powerful words. Thank you so much Jennifer and Adia for sharing with us. I pray that you and your family will continue to receive the comfort from on high to carry on.
Rest in Peace Rep. Elijah Cummings.
*tears* Beautiful!!!
My Daddy would say, and it rings true for you two-“anyone can look at you and tell that somebody loves you”
He will be missed by HIS Country.
Thank you for your service Rest in peace 😭😭
He was a great man I always cared about him. May your soul rest in peace and your spirit soar.
Such a Beautiful Tribute from his Wife Daughters for a Well Deserving Man
Girl, HE'S in a much better place.
Ah! The Honorable Elijah.....Beautiful speech from a beautiful woman,
