What a beautiful and gracious woman, she will be terribly missed. She and Mr. Bannister always showed and extended such kindness and thoughtfulness when the girls from the Woods, would come and visit!! That was over 40yrs. ago, and her hospitality still continued till the last time we visited. So glad we got to share stories and had so many laughs, she was a wonderful woman. May she rest in peace.
