Send flowers to the service of Christopher Banks
In loving memory of Mr Banks, in whom I knew as a faithful and dedicated caretaker,who often visited and checked on his relative. He never missed a care conference, and would often tell us: "yall need to start serving snacks at these meetings", and we would all laugh and joke about it. Mr Banks served alongside my husband Eugene in the Army National Guard for many years. The song is true: may the works I've done speak for me. Your good works do not go unnoticed by God.
My prayers are with the family of the late Christopher Banks. It was an honor to care for him and to witness the love of his family for him. May strength and peace be your portion.
