Tommy Ruane Memoriam

In Memory of Our Friend Tommy RUANE 9/18/1951 ~ 6/23/2008
Here's to the songs we used
to sing and to the times we used to know. It's hard to hold them in our arms again,
But hard to let them go.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

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.
