My heart goes out to Mr Banks, Sharon and David. All my prayers for you all through this most difficult time. Mrs Banks was the kindest person. She taught me how to make cookies. Many memories from childhood hanging out at their home. Even went to Medway Methodist Church with them every Sunday from very small child till I was 12. Just visited them last October. So glad I got to see her and Mr Banks. You will be missed.
GOD BLESS
