The news of the closing of Younies has affected me more emotionally than the death of Queen Elizabeth II. I have lived in Chilliwack for about 30 years and it has always been a welcoming haven ever since I arrived.

It is even more of a shock I guess because it is so sudden, with no hint of any trouble that might have caused it.

I will definitely drop by at least once, or possibly more before we lose such a home away from home for good. Very sad.
