Oh, Mr. Doherty. You were always there to answer the side door when I came knocking for Lindsey. I think half the time he wondered why I even bothered knocking but he always answered the door with the same "Hi, Amanda, Lindsey's inside." He will be in my thoughts and prayers always.

My deepest condolences to the Doherty family. I only met Mike once, but knowing him for just that short time made an enormous impact on my life and career as a nurse. He is an amazing, brave man. We are all better for having known him.
