Mrs. Dougherty, Tom and to each of your family, my thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences are with you. Our father moved on recently as well and my siblings and I found comfort in knowing we have so many wonderful things that bring joy and happiness to each of us, especially during times of great sadness; family, friends, memories, even the blue sky and the eyes of a baby... sending peace and happiness always.
