Bonita, so sorry to hear of the death of your dad. Know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
From: Ken Burton/Nancy Barr
Such a sweet man. So full of fun, laughter and great stories. We shared a love of horses, a good game of Euchre and a friendship that will never be forgotten.

The background on Wayne's obituary is lovely and most fitting, riding off into the sunset. I remember Wayne as a gentle, kind and funny guy who dearly loved his wife, children and horses. He was fair and good. My Grandpa Ed adored getting to ride as a Sherriff's posse with him--he helped make Grandpa's retirement years the BEST living on the farm and being neighbors. I always looked up to him. My heart is sad for everyone who loved him, because he will be missed. My prayer - may the good memories you shared with him rise up in your heart and replace the sadness. He was a treasure. With Deepest Sympathy, Connie

Offering my condolence to the family and friends of Kenneth Bannister. As you cherish the many memories, reflect on the time when death & sorrow will be conditions of the past! (Revelation 21:3,4; 1Corinthians 15: 26) This promise is made by our loving God Jehovah and Jesus Christ himself guaranteed the hope of seeing our loved ones again by means of the resurrection. (John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 26:19) May God’s word & the many fond memories of Mr. Bannister comfort you each day, as we await the fulfillment of His promises! (Joshua 23:14)
