“My customers really feel like family to me,” she said. “Other places, you just eat and go. Here, I talk to everybody, I know everybody’s business. I know what they had last time they came in, who died in their family, who changed their hair color. They’re very loyal to me.”

For the past few weeks, though, the talk over her tables has been about goodbyes.
