One of the greatest celebrations of Mr. Dereks life can be knowing that he won; he defeated Satan. I saw the importance of that in the words written by a fourth grader on his art room door that said "Congrats on going to Heaven". As bad as we miss loved ones here, it's tiny compared to an eternity of peace and joy we will spend with those very same loved ones when we reach the place our Father has prepared for us. God gave us the ability to love, and gave us an example of that love in his son Jesus Christ, but with Love comes sadness. I imagine God cried the day Jesus was crucified for our sins, but look what a gift was given to heaven. I was not given the opportunity to know Derek very well, but from the impact he left behind here on earth, I have a feeling he is well. To Jill and the children; though sadness clouds our lives at times, it cannot take away our ability to Love. I pray that when the clouds part and the sun comes back out in your life, you will see the victory for God's kingdom Derek was. God Bless you and I will continue to pray for your healing. We see it as a lose for us, but through the eyes of a fourth grader it was a win. Praise God for Derek’s victory; he defeated the greatest enemy in his life, Satan.
P.S. - Derek, Congrats on going to Heaven!
