Warren and Family,
Why do the good ones die so young? I don't have the answer all I know is that it hurts so deep within ourselves to our very core. I drive by a business every day called the "clothesline". It's a laundry place, but every time I see that name I think of sitting in your resturant talking to you two so many years ago. I am so sorry Debbie left you way too early and will be keeping you in my prayers...
With my Deepest Sympathy,
Diana Keller (Warner)
