Hi My Little Cuz;
We share in the tremendous lost of your beloved husband and our good friend. Let there be no doubt in your heart, Leon lived the life and faithfully followed the path that GOD layed for him. You can be proud that you were there by his side every mile of the way- right to the end.
Continue to hold your head high, to stay strong and to keep your hand in GOD's hand.
Love,

Dear Rosemary,
Please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved Husband and Father. He was a much loved man and will truly be missed by all whose lives he touched and enriched. The friendship of both of you has been a blessing to me. Rosemary, even though we met in a professional capacity, that soon turned to true love and friendship. During my past turbulent two years and the loss of my Husband and my younger Daughter, you never left my side. At my darkest moments, you would either call or show up at my office with a bouguet of flowers. May God give you and your family all the strength necessary to lift you up and to rejoice in the love that the two of you shared for forty years. As you have never left my side, as your Friend I will not leave yours.
Love to all of you.
Dotti A. Black

Revelations 2:10 states "be thou faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life".
Leon Banks Sr., truly earned his crown of life and all the beautiful jewels in his crown by
the many lives he touched. To the family, I pray that you will find comfort in knowing that
Leon Banks, Sr. was a brave soldier on the battlefield for the Lord and was a strong defender of his
faith. Remember that God has his arms open wide, offering you peaceful compassion at this
time of sorrow. Know that God will forever sustain you. I submit your steadfast endurance
constantly in my prayers. A.E. Beach High School C/O '56. I will miss visiting with him each year
when I come home for Savannah State's Home Coming.
Prayerfully:
