Every time I pass your final resting place I always give you a nod to let you know we’re thinking about you – if I’m on my own I share the odd comment with you like when Addy won the Minor Cup or to ask you to look after Darren when he goes away. Rest in Peace my friend, from Geoff, Elaine, Sammie, Darren, Adam and your special mate Riley.

r.i.p derek god bless you. xxx love from nicky.xxx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Derek Collings. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
