Not sure what to say?

Dave and Suzy...My heart aches for you. Like Donna, I so remember Dave throwing Derek up in the air and that giggle of his...God bless all of you.

So Glad for My Visit the Last of September. Watching Monday Night Football is a Great Memory of your Unique Sense of Humor.

Aly, praying for you and your entire family during this difficult time. There are no words to say.

One of my favorite "Derek" stories:
Derek gave me my "Dallas name" JohnnyB in 1993...My funny memory is when I would end up in the car with Derek & Dave, Derek always wanted me to put the cell phone charger in my mouth/on my tongue while he plugged it into the lighter...I would not. Finally I appeased him one time. He laughed so hard and told me his dad showed him that...fun times. Sweet boy/young man. Love you Derek (:

I have so so many memories of Derek when he was young and growing up. I loved the summer of manners when you were pulling out chairs for Alyssa at the kitchen table. I loved how polite you were to everyone even when you were hurting. I loved seeing you throwing the football on Sundays after church. I loved your dry sense of humor so like your mom's. We have loved and prayed for you for the last 20 years and will continue to do so for Dave, Susie, and Alyssa for the next 20 years or more.

I so wish I would have had the pleasure of meeting Derek. I do know that he had a excellent role model in his Dad and that he was loved very much. RIP
