Not sure what to say?

Was thinking about you today and googled your name. I came across this page and read what everyone had to say. Still miss ya and remember the Roberts days like they were yesterday. Hard to believe it has been almost 9 years.

Dear Jeff, Laurie & Ashley:

Please accept my very deepest condolences on the loss of your son and brother. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son and brother. I just read the article in our Thrivent magazine about Derek living at home today and then I heard that he had passed away. Words are inadequate in times like this but God's love is surrounding you and Derek as well and he will help you ride the waves of grief. Soneday, you will hear Derek's laughter in the wind and you'll know he is with you at that moment.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Laurie, Jeff & Family, At this time the right words are difficult to come by. Our deepest sympathy is extended to you and may the Grace of God guide you through the coming days and months. Take care of one another.

Ashley,

I am so sorry to hear about your brother. He was a student who always made us laugh. He will be missed by many.

Ashley, be strong. I am praying for you and your family.

Ashley,

Be strong, Ashley. I am praying for you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult.

Jeff, Laurie, Ashley and the whole extended family,

I am so sorry to hear of this. I have recently moved three hours south and I did not know of this until I spoke with Kristin today. My heart reaches out to you. I am thinking of you and praying for you and Derek everyday.

Love always,
