Condolence From: Marilyn Lussier
Condolence: My sincere condolences for your loss. Dr Donovan was a gift to those of us that were lucky enough to have him as our children’s Dr. He took care of our 5 children and always made us feel so secure with all the problems we may have had, always calling back to try to remedy the situation. A funny story I always remember was on one visit with my twin boys, one of them suddenly squirted Dr D. He proceeded to tell me that when he was in medical school and money was very tight Mr & Mrs D were going to splurge and have a steak for dinner. Apparently the babies changing table was nearby and there was a squirting accident that hit the steak. What did they do, rinse it off and continue with dinner. Whether that was true, or he was just trying to ease my embarrassment I don’t know, but I never forgot it. He was a great person and wonderful Dr.

Condolence From: Elizabeth Marold
Condolence: I am deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Donovan's death. I gave birth, unexpectedly, to twin daughters in 1967. I was a young Mother and terrified at having twins. Dr. Donovan was the kindest, most concerned doctor I've ever known. One of the twins had a serious health crisis and he was there with us every step of the way. I don't think I would have been able to raise two beautiful daughters without him. Thank you, Dr. Donovan.
