Some of our Mom´s fondest memories were of her cousin, Tommy! He always brought laughter and joy to our family celebrations. Our vivid memories of Tom and Louise dancing the night away at weddings and our parents´, Rita and Del, anniversary party make us smile and appreciate those special moments with great gratitude. Mom could not dance then but she can now join heavens ball room with Tommy. Tom still makes us smile. My memory goes back to simple family gatherings at the Hanton home with Aunt Mary and Patsy and Red and Sandy when we were young. I´m so grateful for those moments.
God´s love surrounds the Banahan family as Tom joins Louise as channels of God´s grace. May they rest in peace and keep the heavenly dance floor alive. You have our prayers.
