I remember riding 4 wheelers we were cousins that could not be broke apart I miss u I miss the old days growin up. Even tho we dident hang out the last few years we still had alot of memories I wish one day we could hang out jus one more day but I'll c u again I miss u cuz

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that to
We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know
There will always be heartache and often a silent tear
But always a precious memory of the days you were here
We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain
Our family chain is broken now and nothing seems the same
You have left us precious memories your love will always be our guide
You live on through your family you are always by our side
It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone
For part of us went with you the day God called you home
When I hug your mom or see your dad smile
Your love shows through them for miles and miles
I love you Do-Dot and we will be together again
As God will see us all through
Hold my Mom and show her our Love to
As days go by watch over our family
Until the day we are back together again.

Derek, we fell in love with you the first time we met you. We considered you like a son, or as your mom would say, a grandson. I loved spending time with you at the lake and will never ever forget the CHICKEN FOOT...Of course, Tara fell for you first time she saw you. And you were Colby's Idol.....with your wakeboarding talent and just being you spending time with him when you could have been doing other things. I think about you all the time, especially when the frogs jump out and scare the snot out of me, but that's when I know you're lookin after us too. Love you forever and miss you terribly. Love, your lake other parents or grandparents...either one is fine with me. I'll see you again one day in Heaven!

If roses grow in heaven lord pick a bunch for me, lay them in my sonshines arms and tell him they are from me

forever in my heart sonshine xoxoxox,,,mom
