DERRICK BRIAN BATEMAN

Derrick was my nephew, his father Robert Barry Bateman is my brother. Derek came to visit my mother, Diane Bateman, who under Mormon church records is listed by her birth name Dixie Cerutti.. I only got to spend a little time with Derek when he came to visit as I was very busy and martial arts classes and working, but I was able to go camping with him and he was very nice and very kind and very polite. He was a wonderful young man.

You look just like your cousin Brian Lee, I'm sorry you never met. Your Aunt Rebecca.

Not a day goes by Nephew that I don´t see your smile or remember those incredible hugs that made one feel they were in the safest place in the world! Those memories will have to last until I can get an actual hug again-rest easy Big Man-Love you always

Lord, how we love that smile!Missing you is an everyday kinda thing Nephew, but knowing that we will see you again one day, before too long, makes it easier to go on! Love Forever, Aunt Rita

Finally!Heaven is satisfied!The Family can collectively EXhale! Now the healing begins! Love You Nephew Always! Aunt Rita

I know you're fine, & I know you're happy, and that helps, but my heart & soul sure is missing you Big Man! I've seen you in my dreams and you're as always, smilin'! Thank you for those smiles, cause they're gonna...
