WARM SUMMER SUN
By Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens)



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.

Dearest Oscar your Bravery and Optimism brought strength to all who knew you and loved you. May all our Prayers and Love bring smiles to your face and Tranquility to your soul. Our memories will keep your spirit alive and comfort your Darling Jill. Until we meet again, be Joyful and Sleep With Angels. You are one of my HEROS.......Ina Holland

Oscar - We have been best buds with you for 30 years, and words cannot express the grief that we feel with your passing. It does help to know you are no longer in pain and are finally able to rest. We have to smile as we think back on all of the good times we have had with you and Jill - from dinner to cruises to hanging out at the local casinos. We will never forget your smile, your laugh, your easy going personality, or your sense of humor. We will look after Jill for you, but she is one strong lady! We will ALWAYS love you, Oscar! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
