Derek, my dear first born.

Today is your birthday and it is so sad we cannot be in touch. I am, however, left with many happy memories of times spent together walking and chatting, playing in the lakes at your favorite beaches and our exhilarating bike rides along with enjoying your culinary expertise. But what will linger in my heart forever is the feeling of your strong warm embrace the last time we were together,

With deepest love,

Your Mom❤️

Dear Derek,

My heart has been left broken since the day you had to go.  You were my "Big Bro" and always protective of me during all the decades of fun and craziness we shared.  I will treasure these memories forever.   You are in my thoughts every day and that is how you'll always be with me.   We miss you, my brother.

Your baby sister,

Shelley 

Dear Derek,

You have been in my thoughts lately. Losing you has left a space in my life that nothing can fill. You were more than just my older brother- you were my protector, my guide , and my buddy through those early years. Your presence was a comfort and a strength. I will cherish all the good times we shared together. 

I hope you know how much you are missed. 

Your little brother,

Kevin
