NEWS FLASH!!! HUNTERS TABLE & TAVERN IS NO LONGER OPEN FOR BUSINESS. THE ONLY THING THAT IS THERE ARE PART OF THE WALLS. DUE TO A FIRE ON WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH 2004. THE FIREMEN DID ALL THEY COULD. THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO DO BUT WATCH IT BURN. WE THANK THE FIREMEN FOR THEIR EFFORTS THEY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY TO SAVE THE BUILDING. IT IS A GREAT LOSS TO THE COMMUNITY OF RHAME.

Here's a poem written by Donna's sister Ronda dedicated to Donna and Hunters
Five Years and a Day
I am sorry my sister for the losses you have had
I am sure you feel in this life you have been bad
Trust me sis that is not the reason,your heart has no comparison.
Your saying is always, well it is meant to be
Now that it has happened to you, it is hard to believe.
The town of Rhame, woke up the morning after
Hoping it was a dream, it just couldn’t be true
As we opened up our doors to smell fresh air
We smelled smoke, that is when we knew
That the day after, would bring no laughter.
Hunters Table and Tavern was no longer there
Now we just have the memories to share.
September 8th 2004 we watched your life
burn up in flames,
The firefighters fought to the end of the game
It was a fire, they just could not tame.
With tears in their eyes they came to you
We are sorry Donna there is no more we can do
They shook your hand and gave you a hug
Then walked away with their heads hung low.
It was just a business people say.
Somewhere to get drunk
Eat and play.
Well let me tell you, it was not
It was a life my sister fought
The only thing she had,
Since she stopped being a wife.
On September 7th 1999, her husband said good-bye
Cancer has won, he said with a tear in his eye,
I am tired, I want to rest was his reply.
So people look at the years and do the math
This is why she believes this is God’s wrath.
She don’t deserve this and that’s the truth
So if you can, please support her
Because she is an angel, this I am sure.

I Love You Sis

This is a pic of Hunters Table & Tavern. Sorry about the color of the picture but it's two pictures put together, due to the size of the building the only way I could have gotten the entire building on one shot was to stand on top of the building across the parking lot and well, I'm afraid of heights so there went that idea. But anyway, click on the picture to see other pictures.
