It's still shocking to know you're gone and I don't think it will ever set in. When Christian and I sat in Mr.Marshall's class without you for the first time it felt unreal. It felt like you were absent and you would come back the next day.Every time someone knocked on the door we both looked up, and prayed my some miracle you would walk in and I know this because I noticed we both were doing it.I miss your smile and your laugh. I miss the dumb conversations we had. I miss talking about hair, nails and clothes with you. I miss talking about our dreams and goals. I miss the text messages-I just miss you. We miss you. It would have been nice to see all your hard work pay off and you still continuing to enjoy life but God had better plans for you in His kingdom. I think I can speak for us all when I say it was a blessing and a privilege to have been your friend and have had you apart of our lives. You have touched us with your laughter,humbleness,determination,and your presence.I love you so much and I miss you! Your family will always be in my prayers. I love you Derica.
Rest in heaven.
