Ms Trudy and Family I never met your son but heard lots of good things from my Son Jason and his friend Chris and I will not have words to describe that painful call that I received at 4:30 am from a crying voice that said Mom my friend is dead those words will never leave my memmory as he kept saying that it was suppose to be me as we switch drivers, all I know that the Lord has a plan for all of us and we are not supposed to questions these horrible things but I can't help but to ask the Lord why this young man that had so much to live for, I am so sorry that you have to go through this horrible pain.
Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you, May God Bless You and Your Family always. and may Derrick Rest in Peace...AMEN
