I was reminded by Legacy about Derrick and Tiffany and they are still vivid from over twenty years ago when he and the family were involved in East Bridgewater Youth Football. Many memories and his smile, support by his family seem like yesterday. They are in our thoughts and prayers!

Jillian, My heart aches for you. This tragic news came to me a few days ago. It seems it was a few days ago that Derrick found me on FB to say hello. You were recently married; the pictures were beautiful, the smiling faces said more than words could express. Derrick had married the Love of his Life. You became part of a family like no other. Strong, supportive, giving unconditional love.... All held together through a woman I have admired and loved for years....Marjorie Joslyn. I pray for your recovery of body, mind and spirit. It is possible the reason he was taken so suddenly will be known to you one day. Please be strong in your Faith. Know Derrick is still by your side. Tiffany is nearby also. She loves her brother with the fierceness of a lioness. It is somehow fitting; in spite of the deep sadness, that they sailed into their next life together.
Jillian, if sadness overcomes you, and you think you are all alone, close your eyes...breath slowly & deeply....listen with your heart as well as your ears; talk softly to your husband. He is with you.
My condolences also to Mom, Bob, Melody,Patty,Jimmy, Missy, Lois, Larraine and the entire family.
My apologies for not remembering everyone's name,
With love, Nancy

I'm still stunned by this tragic loss. I'm sorry to be unable to make Derrick's services, but am planning to attend Tiffany's on Wednesday in remembrance of them both. Jill, I wish you all the best and my thoughts are with you.

My condolences. I just happened to meet Aunt Mary this evening at the Fireescape Coffeehouse in Braintree. She told me the horrific story of her niece and nephew. My heart breaks for the entire family. I have never met Mary before, but I hope to see her again at the Fireescape. I will be praying for your family. My hope is that Mary's sister will come to the Coffeehouse sometime in the future. I would love to pray with her. I pray that Jesus wraps his arms around your family at this time and forever.

For my family, the lose of Derrick & Tiffany has broken my heart in so many ways. It has been s long time since ive sern them but our constant emails kept us in touch like we had seen each other just yesterday. That little smerk of an innocent smile that they both shared will always be imbedded in my soul and in my heart. Watching them grow up to the wonderful adults they have become has been a blessing for me. Derrick would smile at you with those puppy eyes and all you could do was smile back at him and say yes and give him a big hug. He always loved to give hugs. Tiffany (Tiff Tiff), she always had that cute little shy girl look that just made you smile at her and tell her, that she's your princess. They were taken from us too suddenly and it was unfair to our family. They will be missed and will always be loved and never forgotten. They will be up in the heavens with PA and our Dad watching over us. Just gives us 2 more Angels in our lives. My heart goes out to their parents Bobby & Patty Joslyn. Its hard to imagine what you are going thru. R.I.P. Derrick &Tiffany. Love & miss you both. Aunt Missie.
