Dear Banick Family, Your dad was our eye Dr. for many years when we first moved to Maryland. His beloved wife Betty was the sister of my mom's best friend Helen. We lost touch over the years, but nonetheless have fond memories of your family and want to express my sincere condolences to all of you.
