I am so sorry Misti is gone. We loved coming to her restaurants always being well fed. Whenever I ran into her at ball games, or just out in the community, I enjoyed chatting with her and catching up. She will be remembered as a very genuine, kind person. All who knew her are fortunate to know her smile and her kindness.
