My condolences Mother Connie, I was unable to attend the funeral because I'm out of state. Derrick (Grown) and I have been friends from John Muir Middle School, Tech High School all the way to our adulthood. Many friends come into our lives but only a few leave with their footprints on our hearts, Derrick (Grown) footprints will forever be with me. Thank you for sharing Grown with us.
