Our family has suffered another tragedy in the loss of our cousin, Dad's nephew, Derek. We are greatly saddened by this loss. Derek's father, my Uncle John, has given me pictures of Derek, Anna, and I as young children on summer and Christmas vacations in Denver and Vancouver to post here. He has also given me the text of the words he spoke at Dad's funeral to share. You will find both as permanent fixtures on this blog.
