I just learned of Derek's untimely death, and I want to send my condolences to the entire Henry family. As a former teacher of his at Lehigh Elementary School, I remember him as a caring, gentle young man that was always happy and at peace with himself and others. My sincere sympathy for his loss.

Linda, Keith and family,
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say goodbye, but little by little we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
