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.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Dear Carter Family, especially "Chico"s children,
"Billy Joe" influenced me and my family like no other. His parents and family lived 2 blocks behind my house where I grew up in N.F.. In the late 60's, during the intense time of Civil Rights, he became my friend and a friend to my family. He let me drive his car when I was just learning to drive out to Fort Niagara, came awesomely dressed up (gray 3 piece suit, white scarf, white feather in wide brimmed gray matching hat - wow what a sight walking into my house) to our New Year's Eve parties, made us laugh like crazy, and picked my mom up off the floor and made her laugh 'til she cried. When our neighborhood was being burglarized, I "know" it was Chico that "told them" to leave the Hogan house alone - and we were never bothered again. His parents and family welcomed my Aunt Virginia into their living room one time when she got all dolled up and went over w/ me to play cards. It was an amazing experience in that, about 11 people were sitting around playing and they brought her right into a game, and made her feel completely at home. (I seem to remember Jr., Troy, Arthur and Annie, being there; I could be wrong, 1967-68 is a while ago. : >))The experience changed her life.
In our lives, we like knowing others' we love are still on the earth, even if we don't see them. That's how I feel about Billy Joe. I will miss him and keep his spirit in my heart. On behalf of the Hogans' from the corner of Niagara Avenue and Lockport Street, we'll keep you all in our prayers. Much love, Cathy Hogan

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Carter family. I have many fond memories of good times with Chico and family. May your memories bring you comfort.
