Some very moving stories about your son. I never had the pleasure of knowing him, but it's easy to see how many lives he touched through the years. May God bless you and your family.

All 'S' songs, with a nice dedication. People are already refering to it as "The Scotty Show". I didn't know Scott, but he clearly was well loved by many many people. My condolences to you, and may it comfort you that Scott's memory lives brightly in so many hearts.

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.
