Please accept our deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved Derek. We are so thankful for his faithful partnership in our work over the years, in seeking to bring help and hope to some of most remote and isolated people in the world. Thank you for thinking of MAF at this sad time and for choosing to support us in Derek's name - we are so grateful for your kindness.

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.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
