I am so sorry for all your pain. I can not imagine what you all are going through, just know I am praying for peace for your whole family. I know he was very loved.

I am so sorry for your loss. Words are never enough for the pain you are going through now. Our family has experienced your sorrow and fully understand. I am praying that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will wrap you in his arms and comfort you during this time of great sorrow. i know you probably won't remember me, but I have been friends with Helen Neal for years. To Helen, if you need a friend that understands, you can find me on facebook. God bless you all.

Words cannot ease your aching hearts of losing Derek but I am deeply sorry and will continue to pray for the entire family.

Karen,
I'm so sorry...you are in my prayers.

The Cord

We are connected
My child and I
By an invisible cord
Not seen by the eye

It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't be seen
By any on earth

This cord does its work
Right from the start
It binds us together
Attached to my heart

I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me

The strength of this cord
Man could not create
It withstands the test
Can...

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
