Banny, How can 8 years have passed by already? We all still tell stories of the crazy things that you used to do!!! We all had some really Great Years together in Vaughn. We only wish that you could have come to AZ with us but we think of you always!!!
Love Val & "the family"

Dearest Banny-
I am here to tell you that you are in a much better place-with our Lord-safe in heaven. This world as we know it is slowly being destroyed. We miss you and will see you someday!!  Love Val

This Halloween started with two big bowls of assorted candies for trick or treaters. Both bowls were left with nothing but Tootsie Rolls! Ban, I thought of you and wished I could have given you all of them!!

You are still alive in my heart and mind. I laugh at how comfortable we were to gossip, watch trash on television, and fart w/o having to say "excuse me" to one another. I can't wait to see your headstone...  My heart is still saddened because I was given nothing to physically cherish from you. It is what it is. I MISS YOU!

my friend, it was just yesterday I was thinking about you - I was sharing with Ronnie about the time you thought there was a bird stuck in the engine of your truck. you convinced me and I did hear the chirping. We looked under the hood. It was about an hour later when I discovered tat you had a nature cd in the stereo on very low :) we laughed until we cried :)  I love u my friend

Happy Birthday, dear Bannie! I have missed you so much these past
10 months since you left us. So many times I have picked up the phone to call, and when Timmy calls, it still shows your name. Your boys have done a fabulous job on your house-you would be so proud of them.
hope you are playing your piano and you are at peace. Luv Val

Even though it's a new year (2014), it still feels like your passing was the other day. Your memory I will always cherish. In fact, I watched that stupid show,The Bachelor, the other night just because I knew you would be watching it if you were still here on earth. I love you Ban and we shall meet again when our Creator decides that it's my turn too.

NOBODY CAN REPLACE THE SPACE YOU FILLED FOR ME BAN! I can't help but be sooo mad because you should have been around a lot longer. What is it like Ban? Can you hear me? Do you see my tears? I wish I knew. I know we talked about it because I wanted to know where we stood at this very moment that I am w/o you. I hope you devour the lights and recognize your loved ones past and the present and I hope

Ban, I miss your raspy voice, you calling my "honey", your advice about men, gosh, I could go on and on...My heart still feels like a piece has been taken out. You believed in me w/ unconditional love even when I was at my lowest in life. I am truly blessed to have crossed paths w/ you. BTW, Kim & Kanye had a baby girl that they named North West!!!

From the lines of the traditional song "Going Home":
It's not far, just close by, through an open door, work all done, care laid by, blind to fear no more.
Mother's there, expecting me, Father's waiting too. Lots of folks are gathered there, all the friends I knew. I'm gonna meet the friends I knew.
I'm goin' home.

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.

My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But I know you want us
To mourn for you no

The date is wrong. This picture was taken last year at my daughter's 4th birthday party.

the magic carpet

Many times while spending the night with my cousin, Sebenna--
As little girls we had great imagnations.. We would pretend we were flying off to foreign lands on a magic carpet....off to various parts of the world.  we would go shopping, trying foreign foods and plaingy with the childred from othere lands.  we thought we really knew these people!  And then it would be time to get up and I remember our otut stretched arms guiding us back to the homeland....and Aunt Corrine calling us to breakfast !  We Bannie was 6 and I was 4.  The memories have never fadded away!

And when she was older I remem!!ber all the coca cola and chocolate she could drink and eat and never gain a pound! 


sorry I could not be their to celebrate her life.......
