Not sure what to say?

Hugh Clyne signing for Fr. Sam Clyne CM who is unable to respond.
I also met with Fr. Mike and send my sympathy and prayers.

Father Doocey- may you rest in the peace of the God you served so well...you taught so many of us laugther, the meaning of friendship and the rewards of faith...thank you

The funeral was a great send-off for Fr. Mike today. Great music, very down to earth and heartwarming- the way he would have liked it. It was great to see all the priests who were his friends and classmates, and the sisters who cared for him. I was glad to be a part of it, to be reminded that Fr Doocey would always say "God is good", and to rejoice in the fact that he has finally gotten his well-deserved reward. He will be forever in our hearts.

Hey there Uncle Mike, I thank God for lending you to both your families...your Church Family and your Biological Family. You truly were a man of great passion in your love of God and His people. As you journey on to your assigned place next to your Father God, may friends and relatives still living rejoice in knowing we have a wonderful priest/ brother/uncle interceeding to God on our behalf. Much love /peace. Your niece.

Father Doocey always held a very special place in my heart. He taught, coached and married my parents and then in later years married my husband and I and even made time to come back to his old parish to perform a celebration of life mass for our Mom. His smiling face and absolutely true kindness is what I will always remember. May he rest in peace.

Fr. Doocey was a wonderful counselor, confessor and friend to me as I went through Sacred Heart High School, college and beyond. He was the most influential person in my life other than my husband. and I’ll always be grateful for his guidance. He married us almost 35 years ago and baptized our 4 children. He will always be in my heart and my prayers. May he rest in peace with God whom he served so well.

Father Doocey was my Religious Instruction Teacher in High School at Immaculate Conception in Revere in the mid 50's. A gentle man with a great personality. Also a friend of the Family.

Fr.Doocey was a warm,gentle holy man who truly cared for his parishioners. He will forever be warmly remembered by myself and my three children.May he be granted eternal rest.

A SPECIAL FRIEND, COUNSELOR, TEACHER, AND THE PRIEST WHO MARRIED US FIFTY YEARS AGO.
