Bryce & Family, so sad to discover this after leaving the area some years ago. You & Sharon exuded such warmth & acceptance to all us "orphans" & your sandwich shop was a fun place to "park" in a town which, otherwise, could feel like a lonely isolated place to those new to the area. Take care & keep your lights burning. Love, S. Harris
