Dedicated to the memory of Derrick Ward
This site is a tribute to Derrick Ward. He is much loved and will always be remembered.
St Helena at Colchester looked after Derrick so well, they were full of compassion, care and dignity. He consistently said he had "arrived in Paradise" during his stay with them as they cared for him in his final stages. Both he and his family could not have asked for more. Derrick didn't want a fuss made about him, but he did wish to make a difference, therefore if you would like to honour Derrick with a gift then please make a donation to St Helena in his memory.
In Loving Memory Of Derrick

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
