I'm so grateful I met you on 11.22.94. We always had so much fun together. We shopped and traveled through 14 states together (once driving straight 2,200 miles from Cincy to LA in 27 hours - no sleep) only to get to LA and go shopping as soon as we got there. You will be with me forever. Love you, Derek.

I want to thank everyone who signed Derek's guest book. Even though he is gone it makes my heart alittle lighter to know that he had so many friends love him and that he brought laughter into their lives. I will cherish this book forever knowing so many people loved Derek for who he was and loved him for it. I never knew how many lives he touched until I read your loving comments about my son.

Thank all of you from my heart.

Derek,
I met you when I was just a shy 16 yr old sitting in your chair. Over the past 12 years you became my dear friend there is not one moment that I think back on that does not make me laugh out loud. You helped me out of my shell and that means more to me then you will ever know. I kick myself for not seeing you, but when I met your mom I felt as though I got to talk to you one last time. I will miss you so much (and so will my hair, because let's face it...you are a HAIR GOD!!) You will FOREVER be in my heart Derek, Rest Peacefully my friend.
Love always
Shamique

I met Derek in unusual circumstances, in a place that was so gloomy and confined. Derek was like a ray of sunshine in that place. I just heard about his passing, and I want to say sorry for your loss.
