Not sure what to say?

Dr. Docherty married my husband and I in the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church on August 28, 1967. He did a good job as we are still married. My husband is a United Methodist Minister, now retired. I was brought up in NYA and loved Dr. Docherty. He was so special.

What an interesting man. Your deeds still amaze me when I look to your old house when I am in town. Thank you.

our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.love fromcharlie and bett xxxxx

I pray God's comfort for the loved ones of Rev. Docherty.

May God's faithfulness to your family continue throughout eternity.

My sincere condolences.
