Remembering Great, Great Aunt Jane

Jane Schott, of Indianapolis, passed away Saturday morning in her Central Avenue home after enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday with her family. She was 83. Knowing that she was in diminishing health, we took the opportunity four weeks ago to visit her. Jane was very found of the twins and asked to see them. Previously, we visited her in 2007 when Sandy was very pregnant and again in 2009 when the boys were 15 months old. During our 2007 visit, Jane showed us the scrapbook Sandy’s great grandmother Schott had prepared for her son Charles, Jane’s husband. Charles’ mother had written stories beside each photo laid out chronologically through his life. While Jane was not the author or the subject of this work, she was our link to this family history and in doing so provided us with the inspiration for this very blog. God Bless you Aunt Jane.
