My parents, Walt and Alice, went to Fuller's for breakfast for so many years that they became friends with Suzie, the owner. They also became friends with many of the customers. Often Suzie would send mom and dad home with a loaf of her home made bread. When my mom died, Taylor and I had breakfast there and told Suzie the news of mom's death. Suzie gave us the loaf of bread that she would have normally given to mom.
With the memory of Walt and Alice in the back of my mind, Taylor and I dropped in to Fuller's several days after scattering Alice's ashes. Suzie seemed really happy to see us. As we were settling into the car after breakfast, Suzie ran out of the restaurant bringing us a loaf of bread. This bread is delicious. People go to Fuller's because of Suzie's warm personality and for her bread. We were so honored that she shared her bread with us.....just because we're related to Alice. See, Alice, your memory lingers on.
Thank you Suzie. Thank you Alice.
