We are so sad and broken hearted to hear of Banna's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family. Banna was the LADY of all ladies and always a pleasure to visit with and my best times, when we were golfing together...I could have her all to myself (most of the time) and we had so much fun and a lot of laughs. Banna, we will miss you so much......may you rest in peace with your Lord.

Our sincere condolences Terry, Judy, Joyce and families. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. We are so thankful to have called Banna our close friend and she always made us feel like we were included in her family. Banna emitted joy for all those around her and I will always think of her as "my gift" in that she told me many stories of my mother (they were close friends from early years) who passed away when I was only 39 years old. Also she would tell me stories of my Grandparents, especially my grandmother on Lillico side who was deceased when I was born. We are blessed o have known someone so caring, giving and kind. If we can learn from her and spread kindness throughout our world we would have peace on earth. May Banna est in eternal peace. Love, Bonnie & George and family
