"You are but a whisper away, until we meet again some day"
If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,
We would walk all the way to Heaven, to bring you home again
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why
Our hearts ache in sadness, and secret tears will flow
What is meant to lose you, no one will ever know

Please meet my son Derek. He was tragically killed in a car accident. He was a back seat passenger in a friends car when his friend ran a stop sign. He was only 16! Inside these pages you may learn to understand and realize what it means to lose a child. I invite you to walk with me through my journey of pain. I pray you will be able to leave Derek's site with new hope that together we can make life better for anyone that has lost a loved one to death. Please read thru his pages, they hold torn pieces of my heart.
This site is dedicated to Derek, his family and friends on earth, plus his many new friends in Heaven. His short time with us was filled with love and laughter.
I know once you read thru these pages that Derek will find his way into your heart, as he did mine. Derek's favorite times here on earth was with his friends, wearing his favorite TOOL T-Shirt and playing his electric guitar. He was an aspiring Guitar player and loved music. He is now playing for the Angels in Heaven! Please be ready to have him touch your heart . God bless you all.
Derek, I miss you!
"The mention of my child's name may bring tears to my eyes, But it never fails to bring Music to my ears. If you are really my friend, Let me hear the beautiful music of his name. It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul." Author Unknown
