Derith, we are sending our love and strength to your family at this sad time.

You were the most empathetic and caring human and social worker any friend, child or colleague could ask for.

Thank you for your hard work in keeping children safe. It has been nothing short of a pleasure to work with you for so long.

May god bless you and your family.
