Thank you to family, friends, the Bonners Ferry
United Methodist Church and Nazarene Church
congregations and the Bonners Ferry Community
for your compassion, visits, food, calls, cards,
gifts, flowers, firewood, and paying your
respects by coming to Derrick’s memorial service
and in other ways.
The outpouring of love to my family and me has
been, and is, uplifting during this difficult
time.
Thank you to the search and rescue team who
found Derrick. Thank you to Sean McCoy, who I
understand, was part of that team and
initially—I was told—knew only that, “he was
some mother’s son” and with that thought treated
him with the respect this mother’s heart
appreciates very much.
No one knows what the next moment will bring in
life and how long our loved ones will be with
us. However much all who knew and loved Derrick
would like to turn back time to prevent his
early passing; we are nonetheless grateful for
Derrick having been in our lives for as long as
he was.
I know I am a better person for Derrick being in
my life. In tribute to Derrick’s memory may we
all consider the value and importance of loving
kindness and perhaps practice this with one
another more often than less as this can make
all the difference in our world.
Thank you. |
Leah Meister and the family of
Derrick John Meister
