In Rememberence...

January 31 has past us once more for on this day, our beloved wife, mother and daughter, traveled back to Heaven with our Lord and savior and the All-mighty Father. It has been over a decade since she has ventured back, and our hearts and spirits, miss her each and every day. Words cannot express the sheer loss in our lives that she isn't here with all of us. She touched our lives so deeply and so lovingly. She was our strength, our rock, our inspiration. There will never be another like her....she was unqiue, charming, intelligent and special, all in one. Sometimes I ask why God, did she have to leave us? Our lives changed drastically since her departure, but we have managed to stay strong, loving and together as one.That is what she would have wanted us to do. Isabelle Johnson-Banks was an angel among us and I thank God that he allowed one of His prescious angels to touch our lives, and leave a legacy in our children. Not only was she the most beautifull woman in the world, she gave so much of herself to her family, friends and community. She loved her mother, father, brother, husband (me) and children so deeply, that one could only envy the supreme love she showed and exhibited. In this life, God gives us certain gifts and she was surly the greatest gift I and the family have ever expereinced to this day.

Memories... something so precious, so real. Part of our past that made us who we are. Blessed to have them - bringing back smiles, tears of joy, tears of sorrow, memories of sunshine and rain, of someone that will always be there no matter where we are. The spirit of someone we truly love will always surround us. You are a blessed man Gene, God has allowed you to love and be loved - one of the greatest gifts He has for us, and not everybody will be chosen to experience the ultimate. The son of the Most High - undoubtedly...

You will be in my prayer my friend!
