NEW LONDON — The crash that killed three Campbellsport high school girls over the weekend is still sinking in for many, in the small Fond du Lac County community, but the families of two of the girls killed, are making sure their daughters’ memories live on. According to the girls’ obituaries, Caitlin Scannel donated her tissues for transplant purposes, and Katie Berg left behind her heart for a nine-year-old boy.
At Theda-Clark Medical Center in Neenah, Dr. Ray Georgen is the director of the trauma center. He is in charge of the organ donation program at the hospital. Dr. Georgen says asking a grieving family about organ donation is difficult, but it’s a decision that can save lives. “It’s an incredible gift in the face of incredible tragedy, but the benefits that occur, the ramifications, are enormous,” Dr. Georgen said.
