I could not allow this moment to PASS with posting my sincere thoughts of John Banks. John and Linda meant a Great Deal to me. I've always enjoyed our times together. She felt like a big sister to me and John was my Protective brother in-law. I miss our Thanksgiving Dinners together, backyard cookouts, Family Reunions or just our drop in visits. Rest In Peace John. I Miss You. --Norma Myers
