Re: Dedicated to the memory of Derek Duane Revette, Rocket's son..

I'm just now finding out about this, our thoughts &  prayers go out to you & your family Rocket.

Re: Dedicated to the memory of Derek Duane Revette, Rocket's son..

Thank you for looking after and helping Rocket during this time Libby. I'm sure he very much appreciated all of your efforts...

Very sad new about the passing of Rocket's son.  Libby thank you so much for letting us know he is in good company and Marci, my sincere condolences to you  at this time. I will be in touch, I do not have Rocket's phone # any more and have moved. Please send my thought out to him. Larry G

Re: Dedicated to the memory of Derek Duane Revette, Rocket's son..

I am late in seeing this and this is such a shock to see.  Very sad and tragic news.

Rocket, I've only met you once but you made a impression on me and the hubby by your generosity.  My deepest sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time.  No parent should out live their children.  It is just not the way it should be.  You have a vast support system here on the forum as you move through the days, but time will help to heal the hole you now feel in your heart.  Peace be with you.

Hey everyone Jim posted a sticky thread above with info (per Rocket) for anyone wishing to send contributions. Thanks so much Jim smile We'llleave that up there for a couple weeks or so.

Libby thanks for the post. It was comforting to hear Rocket has had someone with him and taking care of him. smile

edited to clarify :  Thanks to those who have sent donations. Rocket has passed the word that he wants to make it clear that there isn't any money needed for the funeral expenses etc. and the donations will be going to a charity which will be posted here when chosen. He's  looking into ones that were close to Derek's heart including veteran's and homeless related ones. Sorry if the wrong impression came across and thanks again. Jim will update the sticky too.


  Thanks Jane. It was easy to donate and I think we all want Rocket to do whatever gives him comfort with the funds. The flowers will be this community's presence during the services.
   
  Libby, Karma. Right place, right person, giving that way will be rewarded. Your softness is perfect.

  Shred. It feels right that you'll house and help your "brother" through the services. You know how to stay in the light.  So nice that the Beacon show will air while you're together. The bond is Joe, after all.

Thanks George! Rocket wanted me to share this picture of Derek as a kid. He sends his love and gratitude to everyone and promises that he will post on here in the near future.

Re: Dedicated to the memory of Derek Duane Revette, Rocket's son..

What a happy sweet picture!  Thanks for sharing ♥  I lost my brother unexpectedly and I know seeing pictures from happier times is a help and
time is the only thing that dulls the sharp edges of grief...... sad 



Any word on how Derek's fiancee and son  are doing?  I'm sure this must be very hard on them, too.

Hey Rocket...

Sorry to hear about your loss.  I just sent you an email, but just in case that address no longer works, I wanted to offer my condolences.

Hello family:

Just talked to Rocket. He wants everyone to know that he has seen Derek and given all the love and hugs and kisses and said goodbye. He wants everyone to know that all is well. He will be posting here soon. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and send him a big hug.

Love the beautiful smiling photo of Derek, what a special memory that is.

Rocket, Marci and family, you all remain in my thoughts.

Yes, thanks for that update, Marci. Rocket and you will continue to have all our love and support, 'cos that's just how we roll.  wink

I intend to unstick the original topic tomorrow as pretty much everyone has responded there by now.
