Dr Donahue was our family doctor. Starting at 2 yrs old he helped my crooked leg, constant asthma attacks, appendix surgery. He took care of my family and did house calls for my mom´s migraines, my asthma my dad´s back. He was a man of honour. I remember always reading a Christian book, children´s Bible stories. I loved this book. Now I am a pastor. Thank you dear Dr. Donahue for being the best doctor ever. We love you. I will meet you again in Heaven. Jesus bless your family.

Dear Betty:
Carol and I are so sorry to hear of Dr. Donahue's passing. The last time Carol saw him was at the rehab center near St Joseph's Hospital, sharply dressed and waiting to be released after recoverying from his heart attack. The last time I saw the two of you was at the Topanga Plaza Shopping Mall. We spoke briefly and went our separtae ways. Dr. Donahue was our family doctor for over 25 years. He was one of the few that would make house calls. My mom (Naify) suffered from severe migrans and when she could'nt make it to his office he would come to the house. I hope you both found much happiness in these past years. Enjoy your extended family especially those grandkids. God bless you.
With love,
Ken & Carol Hellie
