Condolence: I was so very, very saddened to learn of Sandy's passing.
My sincerest condolences to you John and to Kathy, John Jr., Mike and Becky.
Sandy was such a warm, caring person with a wonderful ability to write so creatively from her heart.
I loved the poems and stories she shared with me over the years.....so many years, so many lunches, so many laughs.
I will miss you my friend, RIP Sandy.

Condolence: John, I am so sorry. It hit me like a lightning bolt. I have only happy memories about Sandy and she made me laugh a thousand times. She was a rock that held the family together tightly and raised four fabulous children. I don't know how you can go on without her but you have the support of the children and so many good friends. My sincere condolences. She was the best.

Condolence: Dear Banko family, I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs Banko was such a big part of my growing up. She was like a second mom to me. After we all grew up and apart I loved connecting with her on Facebook as she always had kind and encouraging words and messages. I also loved her poems. Thank you for sharing your mom with me. I love you all so much. Sandy can hangout with my Mom at peace in Heaven together.
