I wish to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. I am a co-worker of Martins at CTA and on behalf of all of us here I wanted to let you all know you are in our prayers. I noticed the Doherty family is very large, It must be hard to get everyone together, with over 40 grandchildren Matthews memories will live on for a very long time! God Bless all of you!

I am very sorry to hear about Matt. He was a good man and I know he will be missed by all of you.

The last time I saw him was at St Barnabas and reminded him of how long it had been since I had seen him. He became fast friend with my sister Pat Daly. My prayers are with all of you.
