I am so sorry to hear of Scott's passing. He was an important part of OHHS and our growing up. He will always be remembered. I think he taught everyone at OHHS in those years very valuable lessons about friendship. Peace

Nothing more painful than losing a son or daughter; I experienced that personally. Hopefully fond memories of Scott will lessen the pain...

Dear Donahue Family,

My mother is looking lovingly down on all of you. You all were special to her, and she always had a place in her heart for "Scottie," as she always called him. I remember playing with Scott and Deb at our house on Fulton and at your house. Know that you all are in my prayers.

Dear Family of Scott,
It is with much sadness that I read this but with much joy he is no longer suffering. He and Kirk were such great friends as well as he was my "BUDDY" while riding the school bus I drove. Prayers for you and yours for comfort and healing. May the many wonderful memories he left with each of us help in the healing that is to come as we feel the warmth on our faces from the smiles that they bring. I'm sure Kirk welcomed Scott into the "ANGEL" realm and they are having a good chat. Scott will always be remembered by me and my family as well as each of you.
Always a friend,
Rosemary Nichols (Kirk's Mom and former school bus driver for Forest Hill Schools)
