I love your family’s story. It is so inspiring what has been done in honor of your son and I have long wanted to do something but didn’t know what. This week I knew immediately it was my chance. My grandmother passed away very unexpectedly. She is someone who probably cried for Derek and sent many prayers to him/your family. I went to The Land of The Giants Hosta Farm to find a hosta with her name, “Betty Lou”. The owner’s were so kind and gave me a plant in her honor; so in turn I printed out Derek’s story, put it in an envelope with money to purchase a plant for someone else that may come along and touch the owner’s heart. I added a note stating my actions were in memory of my Grandma and Derek~ two people who touched the hearts of many! Thank you for inspiring me to do something so fulfilling! God Bless!
