I Will Remember You

"All that we do 
Is touched by ocean, yet we remain
On the shore of what we know."
                                                       ~ Richard Wilbur

 For Derek, 2 years missing you: 

   Wherever I go,
   Whatever I do,
   At home or away,
   I think about you.
   
       However I feel,
       Whoever I'm near,
       With tears or a smile,
       I wish you were here.
         
            Forever you're missed!
            Whenever I pray,
            I ask God to hug
            My sweet boy today.
I love you,
Mom

Remembering Derek with you. We still have his picture on our family wall. Two years past, looking forward to when time will be no more but family will! Praying for you, Keith, Jamie, and family.

How beautiful Donna. Derek was such a sweet granson. I miss him also. I think of him often and how he use to tease me. We were blessed by the times he spent the night with us when he was in college here. He was so caring to Cliff and Cliff loved him much.
