To Kelly and the Schachtner family: Please accept our sincere sympathy at this time of sorrow. As you may know, we live in the "Schachtner House" on Lake Shore Drive and I have had many nice encounters with Schachtners as teacher, friend, baby-sitter employer for approximately the last half century. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless you all.

Aunt Virginia, I remember being kids running around the house and in the basement, And I always remeber Virginia in the kitchen cooking. She and Joe were always so content together. And Virginia had a great memory for family history. I am sure she and Joe are busy visiting loved ones.

Our deepest condolences for your loss. We first got to know Virginia during my dad's (Lester Wackett) stay at the Manor. Dad & Virginia were next door neighbors. May you take solace that Virginia is truly at peace. She always had a smile and kind greeting for all of us...our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
