To the family of, William E. Derrick, With our most deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one. We lost our 22 year old son, Joshua David, in 2007. Our hearts broke when we saw your, William's, obituary. You are in our thoughts & in our prayers. We are in a group called, The Compassionate Friends, it is for families to offer friendship, understanding and hope to them in their bereavement. We welcome parents, siblings, and grandparents grieving the loss of a child, sibling, or grandchild of any age, and from any cause. At the meetings we share our experiences resulting from our child's death, and how we deal with those experiences. The chance to talk and share and listen is so important in the grieving process. If you ever are interested in attending, there is no time frame in which to start coming. Come when you think you are ready to meet others who understand how you feel. There is a chapter in Fort Wayne that meets on the First Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm, with the exception of July when there is a Balloon Release & December is a Candle Light Service. Meeting address: First Presbyterian Church, 300 W. Wayne St. Room 303. There is also a chapter in Columbia City, IN & in Van Wert, OH. For any further information at ~ www.compassionatefriends.org & for chapter location & time.

Derrick Family, I am very sadden to learn of Will's untimely and unneccesary death. I can remember the first time I met Will I laughed until we parted ways. Always gave you a good laugh. Joe, you will always hold a special place in my heart as will your entire family. I want you to be strong and know what he is still here to watch over you all. I wish I knew what to say to make your hearts heal, but only time and love can do that. I am so very sorry for your loss. From the Ellis Family to you all, we are all praying for you. Joe you know to call when you need a friend to talk to.
Love you all
