Colleen, our hearts are broken for your loss. God couldn't have chosen a better mom for DJ and his smile is a reflection of his deep love for you and how happy you made him! We pray that the happy moments you remember will help ease this tremendous pain over time but I have no doubt you will still feel his presence until you see him again someday.

Derek leaves behind the best of mothers. A woman who devotes everything to those she loves. He will wait forever if needed to be with her again and finally tell her his story.
