It's hard to express my condolences about Derek who has a special place in my heart. He was special to our family and my nephew "Mike" like a brother to him. There was a time when you didn't one without the other. While living on Magnolia, he would stop by in his teens age years to play pool in our Den with Mike, Kenny and Rodney. I hadn't seen Derek in sometime and whenever we met, it was a smile and a lot of hugs. Derek, I will never for you and your smile.
