I am very sorry to hear about this news. I'm a dance mom at Earle Cobb Dance studio and Mrs. Derrett was like one of the moms and always graciously there for her granddaughter. She had a beautiful presence about her that was unique and a love for her family like no other. I am saddened by this news and will keep her family and loved ones in my prayers. May God Bless,

Tammi,
We were so sorry to hear about your mom. We have great memories of Hazel St. when you, and Daron and Trevor were little guys. Before I had Daron, Jeanette gave me a baby shower. Then one time, your dad had to run catch Daron when he got loose on the go cart. Those were some good times. Your mom was such a sweet person and fun to be around. Later, we both lived in Cherry Point and enjoyed still being neighbors there. Please know we are praying that God will give you peace and understanding during this sad time.
