MessageJan,

I was just emailed by a fellow USD med school mate about Deron's death, and I am so sad to hear about his struggles with his CF. I have fond memories of spending time with Deron in med school, and so clearly remember the day he asked you out after glimpsing you in the hospital hallway. I was so excited that he was so smitten with you! I recall as well a day when I was really struggling with my first experience living completely alone, and my thoughts were bouncing off the walls and driving me nuts. As I told Deron about it, sure that I was just nuts, he laughed and said, "Sara, we all deal with that...you have to find something to occupy your mind when you live alone!" I don't think Deron ever had a problem keeping his mind occupied!! smilie

My thoughts are with you and your family as you navigate this very different phase of your life. I'm so glad that Deron's faith was a comfort for him, and that you had time to say the really important things.

With warmest thoughts,

Sara Fischer Shorter

MessageDear Family and Friends of Deron,

I have had the absolute honor of knowing Deron as a patient during his adolescence and young adult years and as a medical student while he attended the University of South Dakota School of Medicine. Despite the challenges of cystic fibrosis, Deron made wonderful contributions to medicine as a student, a practicing physician and as a patient. It is clear that he was able to accomplish so much through the support and encouragement of those who cared for him so much. My condolences to all.

Rodney R. Parry, Dean Sanford School of Medicine

MessageJan, Sharon, Dawn and Joel,
What a touching funeral! Deron was certainly a very special man. His love for the Lord came through in a very powerful, heartfelt way. Sharon what a tribute to the wonderful parenting you and Gene provided for your family. It is so evident that your love for Christ will be carried on through another generation. Praise God!
I continue to pray for all of you as I know you face more trials and challenges ahead.
God will continue to provide for your needs. Let those around you be used by Him to care for you. It will help them to heal as well.
With love,
Nancy

MessageHi Jan,
I hope you have had some time to relax and take care of yourself during this hectic time. Our sympathy, love, and prayers continue for you and your sons. Daren's funeral was beautiful; what a wonderful testimony to Deron's faith and trust in God's plan for his life, and for your unconditional love and support during your time together. It was an inspiration to everyone there, and I believe it was everything Deron would have wanted it to be. May it comfort you to have carried out Deron's final wishes in such an inspiring way.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you.
With love,

MessageHello Jan and family,

I just wanted to let you guys know how sorry I am for your loss. I came to work one day and it was so different, and I realized that Deron wasn't there. Deron was my very first patient I had ever at Fairview, since I just started in August, and I got to take care of him several times after that. I've always thought he was such an amazing person, and through all he's been through still managed to keep positive and never ever gave up. Most patients get mad that they have to get up and walk, Deron got mad if he didn't get his entire therapy. smilie One of the last times I worked with him, It really made me smile because he had called and I came into the room and Deron was like "Hi Nikki!" so cheerful, it made me smile, cause it was just like he was talking to an old friend. Deron's faith was another thing that was so inspiring for me, I always wonder if mine would be that strong if I was ever challenged like that. I can't imagine how hard these last few months have been for you all. Deron is probably running laps up in heaven just because he can with no tubes or lines tieing him down. Anyway, I just wanted to say I'm praying for you all through this tough time.

God Bless
Nikki Holmes
