Marion and family
So very sad to hear of the sudden passing of Derek (through my sister Karen).
We had a great time in our early adulthood and a lot of laughs together around campfires out at the Wiapara River or rabbit shooting at night. They are very special memories to me and I shall raise a glass in Derek's honour tonight.
Best wishes to you and the family.

Dear Marion and Family,
We were so very sad to hear the news concerning Derek.
David always enjoyed his company, Derek was so full of energy and enthusiasm, loved his golf, his music and was immensely proud of his family.
We are thinking of you all.
David and Lynne Ward.

So sorry to hear about Derek's sudden death! We have such happy memories of the fun times we shared - recently a lovely Christmas lunch. Murray enjoyed working with Derek over many years and more recently enjoyed his company at their quarterly get-togethers. Thinking of you Marion and sorry we can't be at the funeral as we are in Australia. Lots of love,
Kathy and Murray Seaward
