Of all the money that e'er I spent
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that ever I did
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

So sorry we lost touch over the years. There will be a big poker party in heaven tomorrow night with
Hugh, Margo , Tommy and whoever else wants in the game. Maybe Father Horan and Father O'Neill will stop by for a chat, old home week at St. Pius.
Hope this finds all of the family well. I loved listening to Hugh's stories and songs and Margo
always made me laugh when she talked about her first months in the USA, especially her trips to the grocery store. Prayers and love to all of you.

I really enjoyed knowing Mr. Doherty and his lovely wife Margo, while serving as their physician for a number of years. Gracious, kind, always self-deprecating, these wonderful people asked for little and gave a lot. Hugh was a joy to know.
