Funeral expenses for Derek Boyle

Donation protected
On Saturday, May 26th, Derek Boyle lost his long battle with mental illness and drug addiction at the age of 43.  Derek and Elena met when they were teenagers, and he was smitten with her instantly. They were inseparable from the beginning, and they married and were raising two beautiful daughters together. Derek desperately wanted to beat his demons and get better, but a flawed medical system failed him numerous times, which was a huge contributing factor that led to his death. Derek loved his family fiercely, and they were all that mattered to him.  He only wanted to spend time with them, and this is what made him truly happy. Elena is now left to pick up the pieces and move on without him.  Any contributions made will be spent on funeral expenses, with any surplus going to the girls education. Thank you in advance for any donations. Please keep Elena, Rebecca, and Ella in your prayers.
