Dear Kenny, Renee and Family,
I am SO sorry to hear of your loss. I was a customer at the movie house for MANY years starting in the 80s and going right up until ya'll closed. EUNICE was a great lady. Always had something really FUNNY to say and a smile on her face. She always made her customers feel WELCOME. Miss the old movie house and will surely miss her. My deepest respects and condolences.
