John W. Alderson

Derek, I wanted to wait until today to write you this note. Your dad was so proud of you in what you accomplished in your short life. I know one thing he would want you to do is take over helping with Gage and Laurel with their growing up. You loved baseball just as much as your dad and now Gage is involved with the sport thanks to the two of you. You are a very special person and loved very much. Hang in there young man. Much Love

Mr Alderson

Khyree, Izzy, Alan, MR. Lenz, and me Jose are sorry for your loss. We're keeping you in our thoughts. You are a strong person you will be able to pull through your loss i'm not saying that you didn't lose him or anything he will always be on your mind. Like when I lost my father it was so hard to let it go I still havent let it go i'm working on it still. the stories you told me about him were phenomenol again were sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of getting to know John through baseball several years ago. What a great person and what a great family. I always enjoyed visiting with John and I'm deeply saddened to hear this news.

Derek, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Derek and Erin my thoughts and prayers are with you. Sandy H

You will be missed.

Derek and family,
I wanted to let you know that you all our in my thoughts and prayers. John was a great man and I will miss him, his laugh and his jokes!

To all of John's family my prayers go out to you. I have not seen him for years but in my memory he will always be. We went to school together and used to hang out. I will always remember his laughter and fun times. Even back in high school days he was kind. Loved his Mother. The picture was great of him. Wished we would of kept in touch but lives stray and go different ways. I know you will miss his terribly. He was a good memory to me. God Bless

Uncle John, you and Aunt Carla helped me so much in my young life. I will never forget the talks we had and the loved you showed me. It is hard to believe you won't be there for me yet I know and belief you will be watching over me. I love you and will miss you. Thank you for never giving up on me. Love,
Danny Hall
