As we approach the one year anniversary of Derrick's passing, a number of people have asked what they can do to help celebrate Derrick's life and continue the legacy of inspiration that Derrick and Mindy shared during his cancer diagnosis and treatment. Here is what we've come up with.....we would like to have candles lit on the hour every hour starting at 1am December 6th and continuing until midnight that day. We encourage as many people to participate as feel moved to do so. You may light your candle wherever you are at the time and take a few minutes to remember the message Derrick instilled in us all "cherish one another and live each day to the fullest." Please leave a comment on the blog under this post to indicate the time you choose to participate. Don't worry about duplicating time slots. Let's make sure each hour is covered!
We would also like to thank all of you for your continued support of Jim and I, Marcy, Mindy and the DJD Fight On Foundation. We continue to be overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness and kindness demonstrated by friends, family and people we have never even met. Hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Jim, Donna, Marcy and Mindy
