Aunt Edra, you are truly an angel and God gave you your wings to fly home. You will be terribly missed by all. I'll miss your laughter, jokes, hugs, and cooking. RIP Auntie and tell Dad I said hi. You maybe gone but never forgotten.
Love you,

I first met Ms. Derricks in the Pan-African community at Nation House and then at Saint Augustine Catholic Church. Her presence was revered in both communities as the respected elder that she was. I give thanks for her presence in my life and I extend my condolences to her family, extended family and long-term friends.

Missing you, Aunt Edra, but my sadness when hearing of your passing on had soon become joy, knowing that you'd never again have to deal with the perils of being of this world, for now you truly are what I always felt you were in my eyes, an angel....

Loving you always,
