To the Akert Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of counting money with Barb over many years at St. Francis Parish. She was a delightful, positive person and I enjoyed my time with her. It was always fun hearing about things going on in her life and especially her resale shop in Kearney.
I wish you peace and wonderful memories to cherish forever.
Sincerely,
Cathy Thurlby
