My heart hurts so bad with the loss of this beautiful soul, she was a big part of my child hood (Beth being a baby) I had lost them & life went on & on then I call all the Banta’s in the phone book ( remember them? Lol) I found them again we where so happy, so happy to love each other again. Losing Ma is a hard one to take, knowing the closeness between her & Beth not to mention all of her grandbabies. Kevin number one son did everything right. I love you all from the bottom of my heart forever so don’t forget me cuz I’m still here for you ok. One things for sure Ma was suppose to be here always I never thought of her being gone. It’s a hard one to take love to all.
I love you Gram
