In Memory

One year ago we were shocked, distraught and extremely saddened at the passing of Kirk's father.  One year ago we packed our van and drove and drove and drove so we could be with his Mom and family at this tragic time.  So many things have happened over the year, but Dad has always been in our hearts and on our minds.  Over the year we haven't forgotten the good memories, we've tried to heal, we have increased our faith in Heavenly Father and His plan, we feel thankful for eternal families, we have forgiven, we have shared pictures with our children so they never forget his smile and we look forward to the day we can talk and laugh and share with Dad and Grandpa Banister again.  We love him, we will cherish his memory and we will celebrate the wonderful life he lived full of service and family.  Beth
