To my "Lusters" This is Mrs. Ross from Eagle Heights and I just learned of your loss. I am so terribly sad to hear about your Daddy passing away. He was always so kind and smiled SO BIG when you 3 came out to meet him at parent pick up! I wish I could see your sweet faces and hug you and that all the warm fuzzies in my classroom would make your hearts feel lighter. I love all 3 of you! Mrs. Ross

Kayci there are no words that will fill the void in your heart. We will all miss Derek and his laugh, smile and since of humor (right).He had a special way of letting everyone know when he was present in a room. Only time will start to heal your hurt.
