In loving memory of our beloved nephew and cousin, Derek DiGregorio, on his 30th birthday.

October 8, 1981 - August 16, 2003

Another birthday without you, and still we wonder why,

You had to leave so suddenly without even saying goodbye.

Today we will think back to happier times, when you were a little boy.

How you rubbed your hands together and shook, while opening your birthday toys.

We will think about the wonderful man you became, and how we loved you so.

And how our lives turned upside down the day you had to go.

Happy Birthday Derek. We miss you so.
