Chris, you have our deepest condolences on the passing of your dear mother. As you and I grew up a block apart from each other on South Walnut Street in Germantown, I remember your mother as such a kind woman when I would visit your house. I knew when your parents moved to Farmersville that your mother was a longtime member of Village Council. Somehow I missed the fact that she and your father owned the Village Inn. They were certainly busy people! I no longer have an email address for you. If you could reach out to me at [email protected], I'd like to keep you on my Class of 1972 update list. Prayers for your comfort during this time of loss for you. Karen Carmickle and Mark Heistand

Burt was one of the best, always kind to everyone! I had the great pleasure of working for her at the Village, until she sold it! What a party we had! You will be missed beautiful lady!

Roberta and Chuck were like a beloved aunt and uncle to me. They were a part of so many family celebrations with my grandparents. I have happy memories of washing glasses behind the bar at the Village Inn when I was too young to even know what a bar was. I loved them both.
