To the Banks Family:
I have known your Mom since High School, she was always smart but serious and when she laughed it was a heartfelt laugh. She was the girl that I envied her work ethic both at school and later in life. She had goals and I think she accomplished those goals. We lost touch for many years and next I knew she was teaching at our schools. Irene loved her sons and her Grands....a very proud Mom and Grandma. She will be greatly missed but she has gained her wings now. My condolences to you all!
