About
Derek Larsen
A man who became some one we all were so proud of, a smile that could warm any heart a wicked laugh, 4 beautiful children and 3 grandchildren that i know he is looking down so proudly now and feeling the peace and enjoyment that we have had getting to know them and to have them as part of our family.
Give him a pencil and a paper and draw he would and beautiful drawings they would be. Singing ITS MY LIFE and playing air guitar were his favourite.
Missed and loved by all

Let them know how much you caredOR
Thinking of you lately
Sharon Gallagher Sep 01, 2011
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
To bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken.
Not enough time to say good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
I miss you my crazy brother, especially now when I think all your sisters need you.
My memory

How time flies

I have felt your presence around me so much lately. Its as if you hanging around knowing that I wish with all my heart you were here.
Mommy was diagnosed with cancer just over a month ago (I know you know - just be quiet and listen!) My heart has not been so sore since before I lost you. Dix if you could only have been here through this. I know that mommy has so much that she wants to say to you and i know she will get the chance when she sees you again but part of me thinks that is why she WANTS to go. I hate seeing mommy like this. It brings back ALL the memories of watching you die. I have relived those last 8 or 10months over and over again and it is killing me. The only difference this time is that it is Tons watching it everyday and not me. Tons is going through every emotion that I felt while I was walking this road with you and my heart breaks into millions of pieces for her. I know exactly how hard this is and i know exactly the fear she faces. Thank God she is stronger than i was. Thank God I walked that road or else i would not be able to support her through this. I will not let her be alone without us because i know how hard it was for me to walk this alone with you. I know you have 'visited' her from time to time and if you can, visit her again and let her know you are there. She needs all of us so much.
Mommy is hanging on because she knows what losing you did to us and she does not want us to hurt like that again. Mommy does not want to die just like you did not want to go. It hurts so much to watch her fade away before our very eyes. The only consolation for me is that she gets to see you again. She gets to tell you all the things she never got the chance to tell you while you were here. she misses you so much Dix. I miss you so much. Shan and tess are also taking major strain. This is the hardes thing for us having to watch our mommy die and in some ways i am grateful that you dont have to do it but selfishly I wish you were here for me. i wish I could feel your arms around me and hear you tell me its all going to be ok.
I met your grand daughter the other day. she has red hair! She is beautiful though. You would be so proud of your grandchildren. Little juandre is sooo cute and is getting big now. nathan is a beautiful baby as well. Your kids miss you and Sharnei has taken major strain over not having any link with you whatsoever. At least the other kids have pictures with you and they know you wanted them. This poor girl has nothing. I wish there had been a letter or something to them. Anyway, I guess they will all have their time with you one day.
I miss you Dix. Look after mommy when she comes home. I love you

I went to fetch chase from school on friday and guess what he was doing, standing at the school gate chatting up the girls and please note not one but two girls so wrapped up in them he did not see me i had to drive right up to him roll the window call and wave at him and oh if you could have seen how he rolled his eyes at me, ever the teenager.
But he is such a good boy, i told him if i ever have to wait again i will roll all 4 windows down blare on the the radio the Barney I LOVE YOU song and i will do the signals with it, he just looked at me and said " you would not do that" i told him be late again and lets see if i do it or not. He misses you too and he is getting so big and we see him often now which is good for him and for us because we always have a part of you and he always has a part of you around.
we miss you uncle Derek and i hope that you are all ok up there in heaven waiting for us but at the same time not hoping to see any of us up there soon.
Love you millions
