Renee, what beauty-full pictures! What Joy you have! My Dad always told me that he would continue being my Dad and loving me after he is dead b/c love never dies. Know that Derek continues loving you from Heaven. If he was able to do so much here on earth, can you even think of what Derek can do now from Heaven! My! WOW!

I am praying that you get the makeover I saw was applied for. It will come through for you. You (each) have been in my prayers since I met Derek at the WOW (Warriors of Worship) Conference in Boston in Oct. 2009. I even have a picture of him I could emel you if you want it.

God bless you always in all ways.
Love,
the big N

Renee, I’m watching the video of Derek’s memorial. The video player hadn’t worked for me for months, so I’m getting to watch it now and praying for your precious family. I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for writing through this process.I hope it’s been healing for you.

I have a request. I am a worship leader, and I would like to do Derek’s song “Fragrant Burning” at our house of prayer here in NJ. I’ve tried to find a way to order the CD but it looks like it’s out of print. If I can get an MP3 of it somehow, I would like to give a donation to one of your funds. You’ll have my email when you get this post. Let me know–it’s such a beautiful song and I’d like it to become one of the regular ones we do.

God bless you all as you walk through all the difficult “firsts”.

Rock on! I’m so glad I got to see Derek soon before he got to hit fast forward into eternal happiness.

What a studmuffin.
