Dear Patty, Alan, Michael and family,

I just heard about your loss last night. I am very sorry to hear about it. Mr. Glisson was a very nice man to me and I am sure he will be greatly missed. I hope that the Lord will comfort you in your time of need. I recently lost my father and the Lord helps when nothing else seems to.

Kessler's Restaurant will never be the same. It has many good people who are regulars there and sadly has lost two recently - first Mr. Parsons and now Mr. Grady. Mr. Grady was a regular who parked in the same place every day and sat in the same booth most days. He
was friendly to everybody and that smile of his was infectious. Losing people that you care about is never easy, and it certainly isn't in Mr. Grady's case. To his
family and those who cared about him, I am so sorry for your loss.
