Not sure what to say?

Suzanne ~ I've been to the Old Mill on a number of occasions with my aunt, Sue Pysher (RIP), uncle Barry Pysher, my parents and even with some of our extended family. I always enjoyed your place and usually your husband came out to say hi to Sue and Barry. It was obvious that you and Ronnie were very beloved by your patrons and the community. My deepest condolences to you and your family on his unexpected passing.

Gram & I used to come in every Saturday for lunch after her hair appt's. (Marie Rasley- she also LOVED your oyster stew!) I am so shocked & my heart goes out to you & your family during this most difficult time. It is never easy to lose someone, esp so suddenly. May your family & friends allow you to lean on them & be supportive as I am sure they are. Again, my heartfelt sympathies to you all.
