Your loss is felt from afar. Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
I wish you loving memories , to comfort you as you say good-bye to this Wonderful Man. One that has left - love , memories ,legacies to family and friends …that will never be forgotten. I'm hoping you will find strength in the caring of family and friends, to reflect on these memories of the beautiful life that Mr. La Banca has passed on. Full of Wisdom. One's life legacy is looked through their success of his marriage ,children and grand-children. In other words, in the ways they shaped the family. Their strength is deeply rooted in the blessings that last : Love of the Family, Faith, Honor, Kindness and a Giving heart. Mr. La Banca had touched each of these. He has touched many hearts and lives. Those who have brought us joy made us laugh, and shown us love have given us the lasting gift of a Beautiful Life. And blessed our memories forever. You are in my Prayers and leave my trust that God is strengthen you day by day.
