There will never be another lady any better than Ms Ann. I will never eat a bowl of Newk's tomato basil soup that I won't think of her. Loved Ms Ann!!!

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.
