Obituary of Derek William Van Diepen

Derek William Van Diepen November 23, 1958 - March 12, 2017 Passed away on March 12, 2017 at the Credit Valley Hospital, Mississauga. God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be. So He wrapped his arms around you, and whispered, "come to me." You didn't deserve what you went through, So He gave you rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. And when I saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain I could not wish you back To suffer that again.
