In Loving Memory

Hekabe Be is sad to say goodbye to long time library supporter and friend, Terri Gerbrandt. Terri passed away peacefully at home after a long battle with cancer on January 27, 2011.

Terri and her husband Dave have been traveling to Akumal for many years and have supported the library through all of this time. They have always participated in all of the fund raising events and have always given generously to the library. No matter how much damage was done by the storms, we were able to rebuild and continue educating the local children with the help of all our supporters.

Terri was an amazing woman who had strength, grace, humor and courage and despite what she went through, was always there to help out others. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Hekab Be will be hanging a plaque in the library dedicated to Terri’s memory.
