To Bridie, Michael, Mary Margaret, Anne and Patrick. Words cannot tell you how sorry we were to hear about Michael. It is so hard to believe that big Mike isn't with us anymore and God how much we will miss him. Tony remembers his Saturday afternoon visits with Mike in his Garage or myself the time that Tony came home for a visit and made the mistake of calling me from Mike's house to tell me he was running late at the airport due to the flight getting in late and waiting on a car rental and little did he realize that ma had caller ID and I knew exactly where he was but he said that you couldn't come to Boston without stopping by Mike's for a word with himself and Bridie. I know the pain of lossing your parent is something that we all never get over but just know that he is in very good company with all our loved ones like Ma, Alick and Maria and that he will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prays are with you all. Lots of Love Tony and Julia Doherty.

To Bridie, Michael, Mary Margaret, Anne and Patrick. Words cannot tell you how sorry we were to hear about Michael. It is so hard to believe that big Mike isn't with us anymore and God how much we will miss him. Tony remembers his Saturday afternoon visits with Mike in his Garage or of the time that Tony came home for a visit and made the mistake of calling me from Mike's house to tell me he was at the airport still and was waiting on a car rental and little did he realize that ma had caller ID and I knew exactly where he was but he said that you couldn't come to Boston without stopping by Mike's for a word with himself and Bridie. When I lost ma a part of me was lost also but as each days goes by I can remember and laugh about things that we did with her and I know that he is in very good company with all our loved ones like Ma, Alick and Maria and that he will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prays are with you all. Lots of Love Tony and Julia Doherty.

I will always remember Mr. O'Malley as a big man. But what made him so big to me wasn't just his strength and stature, but his wisdom and insight. He knew about the challenges of growing up and finding your way in a complicated world. I've never forgotten his firm and frequent counsel to do the right rather than easy thing. Equally important, I was the beneficiary -- along with dozens of other kids lucky enough to call the remarkable O'Malley children true friends for large, important periods of our lives -- of both Mr. and Mrs. O'Malley's unshakeable faith in our abilities and our futures. For nearly two decades I practically lived in the shadow of their house in Wollaston -- in their driveway and backyard, on their sidewalk and front steps, and on the streets that surrounded their home. Mr. and Mrs. O'Malley's support and faith had a huge, positive influence on me -- much more than they probably ever realized.

I felt truly sad when I learned Mr. O'Malley had become ill, and feel a real loss now that he has passed. But the sadness is tempered by so many wonderful, unforgettable memories. It was an honor and a privilege to know him. He wasn't just a big man; he was a great one.
