As young girls Mandy and I have such fond memories of visting you all at Medbury Tce and Redcliffs. I can easily recall the warmth and friendship which oozed from your home. And of the laughter and giggles shared - mostly at Dereks instigation! Its with huge disappointment that Edward and I are unable to join the celebration of Dereks life on Sat but he would be delighted to know that our middle son Sam (16) will be playing in a 2nd XV Match against CBHS at 1pm. A fitting tribute to a great man and lifelong friend of the Clapps. Fondest love. Liza

Thinking of you at this time. Derek was simply amazing. He offered the family wisdom, kindness, humor and an abundance of love. The world is a little less bright without him. Much love, Claire, Steven, Jacob and Eva
