Not sure what to say?

PS Should read "re-discovered this site".

It was by accident that I discovered this site this morning. I appreciate so much the notes of sympathy and support. It's hard to believe Daddy has been gone two-and-a-half years, and Mother more than thirteen years. They were such good parents and grandparents. I know they are together now in a better place, and one day we will see them again.

In peace, love and light,

Johnny Dorey

Merle and Family,
sorry for the loss of your brother.You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.I lost touch with you after I left Victory.Plese contact me so I can keep in touch.

I am sorry to hear about Mr. Dorey. He was always so kind and with a smile on his face. I will always remember he gave me two baby squirrels to raise when I was a kid. He was great company to my Mom in the nursing home.

Johnny and Dianne, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. I can still see him sitting on the back seat at church. He is missed. We don't realize it but our parents are our backbone. We have had Christian parents all our lives and that is a blessing in itself. The Lord worked mightly through them and taught us. May God Bless You Both. Love and Prayers
