Doreen, Donna, Jack and Danny,
I was so very sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing.
She was always such a nice lady.
We had lots of fun on Central Ave when we were kids!
Lots of summers in the Doherty pool!
Your Mom made all of my bridesmaid’s gowns for my wedding and was a perfectionist! They all looked beautiful!
Thinking of all of you.
Love, Joraine Bowman Spelman
I was truly saddened to see this today. I didn’t know. I’m so sorry about Marie’s passing. My family always had a wonderful time at the Doherty’s house. Many, many memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Marie is finally “home” with her beloved Chickie.
Sorry we won’t be able to attend the wake. We almost felt like family. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you
