Just remembering...I just saw my uncle Dereck a few months ago in the month of July waiting for the bus heading to work. I never imagined that it would be my last time seeing him! My prayer is that our family will cherish the times that we spend together and live each day as it was our last. Life is like the wind...its here and then it gone. I love you uncle Dereck!

Well -- our brother, Dereck, has passed away. God saw his situation and his troubled heart and called him home. We will miss him and remember to get our comfort from knowing he's in no more pain and that he is in a better place. We'll miss you, Dereck, and will always love you. See you when we get there.... Lovingly submitted by the eldest child, Zelda Renee Drisdom-Chavis
