To My Friend Jessica,
Derrick had to leave you so early in life, but he left you with three precious kids and each in their own way reminds you so much of him. Your heart is full of wonderful memories of the man you so dearly loved.
The clock will keep ticking and time will keep passing---You are never alone Jessica. There are loved ones all around. I'm sure God has spoken to Derrick and said,"see my son--Jessica is a very strong woman-She's got this!!"
