Mrs. Schatz, I think and hope you know that Dr Schatz and you were always like family to Lynn and me. You made going to the dentist more like a joyful visit with beloved relatives than a nerve-wracking medical appointment. Both of you will live on in our happy memories for as long as Lynn and I are still breathing.

Nancy, sorry to hear about Dr. Schatz passing. Our mother passed on September 11. 2015. She was ready to go. I remember going to the denist right after school and get the toys he gave out.

Nancy, I think I was the only kid I knew who liked to go to the dentist thanks to you and Dr. Schatz. I always felt like family when I was there. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I asked for prayers to said at church.
