Fondest memories of you both. Stephanie Kane Riddle MD. Ex CUA gymnastic and tennis team member.

My name is Portia Boggia Davidson, in 1972, (47 years ago) I lived with Martin and Jone Dowd and took care of their children for a few years when I attended graduate school at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. I absolutely loved and cherished my years with the Dowd family! I can honestly state that God took extra time when he created Martin Dowd because he was a true champion at everything he set out to accomplish! I could tell hundreds of stories of our time together, we...

The Tower...the cage..intramurals. Laughing all the time. We still have a million of Martin's custom-made tee shirts. The Rubies--most under-rated intramural team. The Sunday afternoon tennis cook-outs at the Dowds. Nothing but sweet memories!

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Marty. Take as much time as you need to soothe your grieving hearts, and to cope with your sadness. Always look to Almighty God, who loves us, for everlasting comfort.

My sincerest sympathy and prayers go out to the Dowd family. My daughter, Maryanne Burke, was coached by Marty at CUA and we recently saw him at Resurrection. He will be missed on many levels; but he has won the match and is at everlasting peace.

My thoughts are with the family during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort knowing that there is a hope for our love ones lost in death can be reassuring.

My deepest condolences to the Dowd family. I will always remember
Mr. Dowd's lovely stories & how much he would light up when he
spoke of his family. I always enjoyed our conversations and his advice. Mr. Dowd will always hold a place in my heart. All my love & prayers.
