First of all I want to publicly thank you for the hospitality you tendered to me during each of my visits to the James Pharmacy Restaurant. Everything under that roof seemed always to be filled with cheerfulness and pleasantness. Like Kendall Morse, Elizabeth Patrell and Judy Cook, I truly enjoyed performing there. I also appreciated the singarounds that you and/or Janie have hosted there. How special those moments were!

Please give my best wishes to the staff there. They were always among the best I've ever seen. I feel sure that much of their attitude was reflective of your own. You drew out the best in all of them, Dani.

I can only imagine what the next few days will be like for you as you prepare for the closing while at the same time attempt to be "up" for the holidays. I wish you well, Dani.

I saw what pride you took in all you did at the restaurant. You had fun with it; you prepared some of the most delicious and far-from-mundane dishes that anyone could ever enjoy; and you created the kind of place everyone enjoyed patronizing. Yes, I wish it had been more profitable; but in the long run it is what you do in life of which you can be proudest that makes the difference.
