The Banky Family has always been intertwined with mine. Family friends from Brighton Park, Nativity church and mostly thru my parents John and Veronica Zepaltas. Veronica is one of the Paulikonis girls. Our lives have been closely intertwined. Veronica passed in January 2010. Everyday my heart is full of her love. I am sure that your days will be filled with Mary's warm sunshine too.
She was loved and cherished.

The opening prayer you say at the Senior Club will be a void, as you will be missed as a friend and a fellow bingo player. We will now pray for you at the meetings. Love Sharon Panick

To the Banky Family,

Your Mom was one of my dearest friends. We became very close when my Mom was alive, because they were friends at St. Adrian Senior Club. There are not many seniors left in the aging club. We will miss her cheeriness and laughter. She was known as the sunshine lady. May eagle's wings deliver Mary to the awaiting arms of our dear Lord.

Mary, judging by your 1 kid I know, Michael, you are the best mom in USA & Lithuania. Mike is Mr. Marquette Bank, Mr. Nativity BVM and a top Chicago asset. Your kugelis prompted his tee: "Kugelis, Breakfast of Champions." Pave way for your kids' entry into Heaven. Thanks for your wisdom, generosity and extraordinary gifts to all.
