    You will be missed sweet Dericka. I looked forward to your daily calls to our local radio show in Chicagoland. You were loved by many here and we are saddened to lose you. I pray for your eternal peace and rest - I hope somehow you know how many lives you touched.

  4. Bonnie BeckSending our deepest condolences to Dericka’s family and friends. Although I didn’t know Dericka personally, I felt like she was a Dear Friend. She would call into a radio station in my hometown here in Bell County, KY (USA) and talk to the radio host. Their conversations were absolutely heart warming, funny, and just about daily life or even random things. Dericka never failed to make us listeners know that she thought about us and never left the radio/telephone conversations without wishing all of Brian’s listeners a great day or she was thinking of those who may have needed it at the time. Much love and prayers to her family and friends! πŸ™πŸ½β€οΈ2nd March, 2025
