“Just wanted to share this with y’all just in case y’all don’t get to see all reviews that are posted. My wife and I really are thankful for the experience y’all helped to provide and the generosity y’all showed us. She stays on me about being nicer to people with attitudes in the service industry, but my experiences have led me to expect the worst in people I suppose. Nevertheless, y’all showed me that they’re still a little hope in the world. Thank y’all for everything!!”
