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.

I had the chance to meet Jonathan through my boyfriend Travis. Jonathan had a vibrant personality and such a fun sense of humor. He was always laughing and making jokes.

In the time I got to know Jonathan I knew one of the greatest people a person could know. I was blessed with the time to work with Jonathan and he will be missed dearly by many. He had a wonderful personality and a great sense of humor. If you had a bad day he would be the first to show undestanding then follow it up with a laugh. Jonathan will always remain in my thoughts and his family in our prayers.
