Happy Birthday Dad ❤️❤️❤️ I’m sending a dove to heaven with a parcel on its wings, be careful when you open it, it’s full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses, wrapped up in a million hugs, to say how much I miss you, and to send you all my love. I hold you close within my heart and there you will remain to walk with me throughout my life until we meet again.

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.
