I worked with Officer Carolyn Banks for many years at Burruss Correctional Prison. She was the very first officer I met when I transferred there in 1988. I have so many wonderful memories of times that we laughed together and worked together. We shared many of our life's experiences with each other. She was truly one of a kind. I will never, ever forget Carolyn Banks. May God give her family peace and comfort that only He can give.
