I feel so lucky that my path crossed over Derek's, to have shared his joy, his wisdom and knowledge of all things. He is forever in my heart, as I know he is for so many who know and love him. My thoughts are with you all.
Thank you for setting up this memorial to Derek. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
