I loved Dr.Scheetz, this man saved my life when I was 10 years old. He was my doctor until he moved to Yuma and then I had to find a new one.
We named our first born child, that he delivered, after him and the two if them connected and stayed in touch when our son was an adult. I saw Dr Scheetz several.years ago when my sin was having lunch with him in Yuma, I'm so glad I stopped by.
I will forever be eternally grateful to this man for taking such good care of me clear through adulthood.
Ida and family, I'm so sorry for your loss of such an amazing ma!
Doc, I'll love you forever!
