SINCERE GRATITUDE FROM OWNERS OF RANGOON RESTAURANT, PHILADELPHIA, TO AN UNIDENTIFIED LONG-TIME WOMAN CUSTOMER AND HER FAMILY
With this statement, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to a woman who was a longtime customer (along with her family) of our Rangoon Restaurant, on Ninth Street in Chinatown, Philadelphia. However, we do not know who this individual is nor her name, so that we could properly contact, acknowledge and thank her. But what we do have is a statement by this woman, which recently appeared on "Billy Penn," a daily digital news blast, which greatly compliments our Rangoon Restaurant (very sincere thanks to the unidentified customer who dropped off this statement at our restaurant, this past Sunday (November 7) afternoon).
After the three of us (Christine, Mee Mee and Jenny) read the statement from this woman, we were all completely overwhelmed with great gratitude by the wonderful story told by this woman about the many years she had come to our Rangoon Restaurant for meals with her family. She described with such sincere love all of the dishes they enjoyed at our restaurant over the years, and how she brought her daughter (and her husband), and her son (and his family from Helsinki) to our restaurant over the years, and then her grandchildren as well. We were very happy and felt great joy that our restaurant became a true family tradition for this woman and all of her family.
But we were also very heartbroken to read this woman would not be back in Philadelphia (city of her birth) until May 2022, and so she will not be able to come to our restaurant to say goodbye by the end of this year, when Rangoon Restaurant will close. But if this woman should see this posting, we just wanted to say to her how deeply touching and beautiful we found her story about our restaurant, how wonderful her memories were of great meals and family time at our restaurant, and how she remembered all of us over the years with her kind and loving words. Many blessings upon you, your children and your grandchildren. Thank you so much.
