Hatherill's was such a fun place to stop by for coffee or a great fish dinner. I remember the place was always spotless.

Aunt Edith was a wonderful loving person - she was my grandmothers sister and I remember when I was little the two of them together at the restaurant snickering and chatting a mile a minute. She will be be missed greatly, but her spirit will live on in her family.
