Derek was the first person I met when I moved to Florida and have great memories with Derek all laughs never a harsh word with Derek:):) we have had some times that passed us and when I would see him it was like no time has ever passed !!! I lived up the road from Detek on Coronado and every morning that Dad and I where loading up to go to work you would beep your horn to wave hello I miss that Buddy !!! I know you are in a better place with our Lord God and I hope my Mom finds you up there she always loved your sense of humor .... Now besides my Mom looking over me I now have you too :):) I think about you all the time Buddy and it's hard knowing you are not here no more but I know that we will meet again in heaven my friend !!!!

I know Derek is around us when I see a butterfly, shiny penny, or a 77 and I hope he is watching over us and we are following his example. Love, Mom

My heart has a giant hole since losing Derek, he was
God's gift to me. Hope to see you in heaven. Love, Mom
