Harry, Sherri, Tommy and Bonnie, your sweet Mother will be missed by so many people who loved her!! She was always one of my favorites of all my Mother's, Elizabeth S. Banks, friends. I can still hear her calling me, "Darlin'!" We had so many good times at Blessed Sacrament, and your Mom was a big part of those happy times! We were all so close. It was so nice having your Mom run the cafeteria, and I know my Mom and several of their friends volunteered on Tuesdays in the lunchroom. They were always smiling and laughing and just enjoying being with your Mom in "her kitchen." I know you all miss her terribly, but I know she is in Heaven with your Dad watching over all of you. You have all been in my thoughts and prayers, as was Mrs. Connolly during her long fight. May God comfort and sustain you all. I know you hold so many memories in your heart and will enjoy reliving those memories for the rest of your lives! Take care of yourselves and know you are not alone. God bless you guys. Much love, Kathy

My heart breaks for you all. Your mother was one of the kindest and sweetest people I have ever met. It was truly an honor to be her neighbor and friend. I know she and Mr.Harry are dancing together in heaven right now looking down over us all. She always loved to sit on the porch and tell us stories about the trips she and Mr.Harry used to take up into the mountains. She raised such a wonderful family. Bless you all.
