Derek, my world has changed so drastically since you left it. Still trying to figure out how to navigate it. I want you to know there some of my most favorite moments and memories are when I would see you and Marquel together laughing and having so much fun. You would always tease her and give her such a hard time, in a fun way. Watching you two together laughing and teasing each other were so fun. Made me so proud to be your mom. You kids are my heart and soul. I would just sit back and watch you two and giggle while you two would tease each other and laugh. The minute you would walk into the room and your sister was there, it was game on. All the laughs and giggles started then. I never had a dull moment with you kids. You two are the bright light in my life. I couldn’t be more proud to be both yours and Marquel’s mother. Your sister and I talk about you as a lot. I know that we have such a huge void in our hearts. Your too beautiful niece’s Haydyn and Myley love you so much too. I know your kids miss you. Grandpa Wayne misses you more than you know. You are the son he never got. I know that he is so grateful of the time he got with you and cherishes every moment he got with you. Grandma Wendy calls you her Hero and loved and cherished all the time she got with you. You are so loved son and missed. Words just can’t explain it. I feel like I’ve been taken off planet earth and put into another planet with all my family and friends and told I can’t go back to earth ever again and never see you again. Makes it hard to breathe and comprehend, let alone function. Just know, I will do everything in my power to keep your spirit alive. There’s no one in this world that will ever stop me from doing that. Watch over all of us and guide us. You are now our Forever Loved and Missed Angel. I love you so much and miss you!

I remember one time when the Backstreet Boys were performing on TV and we were all watching it, at dad's, but you weren't in the room. I said, "I'm so glad Derek isn't in here bc he would be teasing me about AJ". Sure enough, you come out with your shirt tied up and started teasing me bc AJ was performing in a crop top and I just couldn't help but laugh, roll my eyes and also, be so annoyed all at the same time! Everyone laughed bc your timing was perfect! Hahaha 🤣 you always found a way to tease me but always with so much love. That's what big brothers are for, right. And then you became the Uncle of our 2 little girls, who love their Uncle Derek so much! They got to experience lots of teasing too. "Haydyn Worcestershire sauce" 😂. You were my favorite pain in the ass and you will always be in our hearts and thoughts. I literally talk about you every day. Until I see you again big bro, enjoy our family in heaven. I love you! 💕💓🥰😘
One last thing ...my last text messages from you 🤣🤣 but, I LOVE YOU MOST!

Missing you so much son. Can’t stop thinking about you and how I will never see your gorgeous smile, hear your quirky comments, your jokes, your laugh or snicker, your Hey Ma, your I love you and so many other things. I miss everything about you son. I love you so much and miss you beyond words.
Love,
Mom
