Dear Kermit and Elaine,
I was saddened to hear about Derek. I have many fond memories of the time spent with him. His favorite activities while with me in school were doing work for the office and attending Mr Smith’s gym class. Im sorry I didn’t get to see him in the last few years. My deepest sympathy to you and your family

I met Derek when I volunteered in the IU classroom at Springhouse during study halls. We're the same age and I really enjoyed getting to know Derek and see his smile. May Derek's memory be a blessing.
