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 am one of Joe's union brothers. I worked with him a few years back and will always consider him a dear friend. We will truly, truly miss you my friend.
