Mark & Yanacek Family,
You are all in my thoughts at this time. Grandma Bert was a very special woman and I cherish many childhood memories from visits on S. Main Street. The garden, rhubarb, treats in the kitchen — you never left the Yanacek house hungry. She knew how to put a smile on your face. May she rest in peace.
Bertha was one of the funniest people to work with and always had great advice. You have our condolence. The Williams family
My Condolence to you.
Tom, So sorry to hear about your Mom. May your memories of her comfort you as time goes by.
