My Pharmacist, My Best Friend, My Husband has left foot prints on my heart forever. Drexel passed away at 7:44 a.m. on 9/10/08, following a fatal fall from a scaffold.

Not sure what to say?

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Leo Buscaglia

Dear Kim,
I am so deeply shocked and saddened by the news Drex has passed. He was a strength to me in a time of need, and I will always be grateful for that. Both of you welcomed me and my family into your home. The boys still talk about the go-carts and are amazed at how Drex swatted away a wasp with no fear. He saw the boys were scared and didn't want them to worry. That really was him--fearless and always caring for others. He didn't just hug you, he enfolded you. His love for you was...

Kimi,

I send my heart felt condolences to you and your family. I was shocked to see that Drex had passed. We worked many evenings and weekends together at old Delta Pharmaceuticals.(1993-1995). and you were truly the love of his life. He loved his trains and I enjoyed your warm hospitality, baking and that delicious hot apple cider. Oh how I remember his energy and still remember his last words to me. May his love and spirit continue to shine through you. May his and your many...

Dear Kim and Family,
Our hearts are with you over the loss of one so unique & so loving as Drex. His life was a shining star for others to follow, and the light remains. . .

Many of my team members, from the Omnicare National Operation Team, worked side by side with Drexel during pharmacy computer implementations. We were all shocked to learn of his passing.

Drexel was a wise man full of both insight and vision, who strove for perfection in the art of pharmacy. After getting to know Drexel over several weeks, one could tell that Drexel treated all of life, not just pharmacy, with the same passion for perfection. It was a pleasure to work with Drexel and...

Dear Kim & Family, Our prayers and thoughts are with you. We will certainly miss all the stories my brother would share with us about Drexall's findings and what amazing things he would do with them. May all your wonderful memories help you through this difficult time.
Our hearts go out to you!
Much Love

Kim, Drex, Jerric, & Kourtney,
I've read every entry in this guest book and am still at a complete loss for words. I was stunned when I heard the news. I've never known a couple more suited for each other than you and Drex were, Kim. It breaks my heart to think that you two are physically apart, though I know your spirits are inseparable and you are strong enough to move beyond the grief! To say that Drex had a zest for life is an understatement and I guesss that's where I can find a...

Kim, my thoughts and prayers are with your family. Drex was a very unique person with a BIG heart and was always there for you, when you needed him.
