To the Family:
My deepest sympathy is with you at this time. I worked with Derrick at DFW and he was a bright spot in my day. I only knew him for a little over a year but he made it seem as we were life long friends. He gave me the nickname "leather and wood", and when I came in to work each day, his voice yelling "LEATHER AND WOOD", would be the first thing I would hear. He will truly be missed. My prayers are with you.

To Sis. Richardson, Courtney and Amy,
I know the three of you from different settings but it seems you share the same pains of sorrow at this time and I can share this advice to each of you.
We are praying that God will ease your hearts and lessen the hurts at this time. Turn to Him. He will never explain why but He will be there through it all.
Rest in knowing that He does know the pain you're felling right now.
Remember the good times and that in itself will comfort you.
