Omaha, NE Sunday, December 21, 2014 Remember the fun times we had while Minerva and Mom were our leaders in 4H. Also remember working with Minerva the summer after we graduated from high school I think she catered all the weddings of my classmates. What great neighbors they were when we lived out on the farm. My deepest sympathy to the family.Larry B. Moeller
Omaha, NE Saturday, December 20, 2014 I remember................when Danny, Tom Wolsleger, and Roger Hasemann were tragically killed in a rural auto accident. I was driving up Tuttle Creek Blvd in Manhattan, KS (where we lived for almost 30 years) when I saw a car with Nebraska "5" county on the license, so I pulled up with windows down and hollered at the occupants: Myron and Minerva Naber, from My Hometown of Scribner. A Magical Moment for all 3 of us!! Heartfelt Sympathies to their Loved Ones.
