  5. Dear Dave, Pat, Dawn & Dave Jr – We are terribly sorry to hear of the passing of your son and brother Derek. No one can prepare you for such a loss. Take comfort in knowing that Derek is now resting in the arms of the Lord. May the memories of Derek help you find peace. Our deepest condolences to all of you. Please remember this little poem:

    I found a penny today, just laying on the ground
    But it’s not just a penny, pennies come from Heaven
    When an Angel misses you , they toss a penny down
    Sometimes just to cheer you up, or make a smile out of your frown
    So don’t pass by that penny, when you’re feeling blue
    It may be a penny from Heaven, that an Angel tossed to you

    Hope to see you sometime in the near future
