I will miss you (great uncle) Lloyd and so will the rest of us. I'm so glad and grateful you are finally with Lu again. I know you two were the love of one another's lives and have been separated for far too long. (Just like grandpa Ray & grandma Margaret) You will be remembered and loved for all time. Your (great) niece, Danielle Therese Dearey Sackett Otey

We just learned of your father's passing. I always had such a great time when I went to your house. I remember the "tomato incident"! Good times with good people. Our love and prayers are with you.

Dear Dearey Family,

What a beautiful funeral mass for your beloved father. The reception you held was wonderful. (I especially liked the Irish touch of "Danny Boy"). A true testament to what a special man your father must have been as evident by the church being filled for his mass. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
