My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Nelson's family at this time of sorrow. I had the pleasure of meeting Derrick when his daughter attended Goddard School and I had the pleasure and honor of teaching her. He was such a nice man and such a pleasure to have morning conversations with during drop offs.
I am truly honored to have met him. Praying for God to give his family strength to get through this time.
Sharonda and Morgan sending you lots of extra prayers and love to you
