Although we had not seen each other since graduation 1955, I remembered my classmates in prayer. My condolences to your family. I never ate at Top Notch, but I do remember the good hamburgers at Babe's. RIP my friend!

I was introduced to Top Notch when I was working up North in the 70's. The food was always good, the atmosphere you could count on being down home, and Frances never got an order wrong. I admired her hard-working efficient ethics and her friendly smile was her trademark. I introduced my children to Top Notch, and that is one of our special places to go even though we live way South. Our deepest condolences to the family. Frances is at peace, but I know she's running the kitchen above. God Bless You!

Dear Stanish Family,

Our deepest condolences to you at this time of sorrow. We pray for your peace and comfort in many happy memories. Your mother was always so kind at Top Notch when our family came in for a great meal since back in 1971. I knew her as a bank customer and then at the restaurant for so many years. A very sweet and hard-working lady for whom you can always be very proud. She will be greatly missed.

To the Stanish Family - My feeble words cannot possibly quell a sorrowful heart. I have only Him to turn to and I hope the Word can bring you comfort.

John 11:25-26 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.”
In sympathy,
