Dan and Karen my heart breaks for your loss. My husband passed away a few months ago so I know the pain you are feeling. Keeping you all in my prayers during this time of sorrow.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Donahue,
I want you to be comforted by knowing what a gentleman Scott was. I know he had ups and downs, but I always felt we communicated well, and he was always respectful of me. He may not have liked a rule or decision, but, in testimony to you as parents he was compliant.
I would run in to him at Meijers when he was stocking shelves, and his same polite but business like personality was extended.
I have thought of him and you as his loving parents often. Keep his pictures and mementos close and he will always be with you.
I saw Scott grow up from a young boy about 7 ( or so )to out of high school. A lot of laughs together, and a lot of discussions. The bus ride was all too long at times. And interacting with a subject he was interested in helped, I am sure.
I retired from bus driving for Forest Hills in 2003, my husband died in 2005 and I remarried in 2013, Life does go on.
The best of everything to you both. I’m sure you both will get your reward in heaven. You are marvelous parents.
Sincerely,
Mary Catherine (Clapp) Vierheilig
Our deepest sympathies! Sending hugs and prayers!
Scott will be deeply missed especially from your friend s at OHHS
