Ken,
Loving thoughts to you and your family on the anniversary of your son's passing. I'm sure he was a fine man like his dad. [email protected]

To the family and friends of Staff Sgt. Derek Farley:
Remembering Derek on the anniversary of his passing. May our fallen heroes never be forgotten.

Derek
it's been over a year since you have gone from us, we never forget and think of you everyday. Rest in Peace and know that you are loved
Aunt Maggie and Uncle Len

To SSG Derek Farley's Family & Friends: I was there in Farah, Afghanistan with your son and friend. I had the opportunity to briefly meet this fine young man, and I was there with him when he went to God. He was surrounded by his Army brothers who loved and cared deeply for him; he was not alone. With deep gratitude and respect, I pray you are all well.

To the family of Staff Sgt. Derek Farley:
Derek gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

As I watched ABC Evening News feature your son Derek as their person of the week, I kept praying "hopefully he has not died but has accomplished something so signficant ABC wants to report it." When they announced that he had indeed passed, my heart sank and I said a quick prayer for the family and then I thought "Derek DID DO something so significant ABC wants to report it: He made the ultimate sacrifice of his life." But as I reflected more on what they said of Derek's life, I realized...

To the family: May the comfort from family and friends continue to strengthen you, and may you find comfort in the words found in the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
