Dear Susan, Steve and Family.

We were deeply saddened to read of your Mother’s passing.  My parents were always fond of your parents from the time of the restaurant’s opening.  Now,because we are so fond of it, we always stop on our way back to Shippensburg.  And it was so nice to see your Mother once or twice when we were there in the past year or so.  She always stopped to say hello and talk for a few minutes.  She was such a gracious lady!  And will be deeply missed!

We offer our deepest sympathies to all of you.
