Warm Summer Sun
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

To the Archer family, having lost a child, I know the ache you feel. Just remember the smiles, laughs and all those little "i love you" that she gave you. God bless everyone.

May your family find peace in knowing that your daughter/grandaughter and her mother are with The Lord in Heaven. My father, John Wilburn (of Victoria, Va), comforted them both before their passing. Our family has you and your loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Arther family
I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter Summer. She and her Mom was at my house in Jacksonville many times visiting and we visited alot in South Hill also. Summer was like a grandchild to us and we loved her. I met her Dad jsut once at a barbaque when he was picking up Summer. I think you were a very good Dad to Summer. Always remember, you gave Summer 5 years of good Daddy/daughter times; we have a lot of respect for you and God will always be with your little girl and your family. Love-Brenda
