Banana Nut Bread

"Our family recipe for banana-nut bread came from a cookbook that my sister's Sunday school class assembled as a gift for Mother's Day.  It became a family favorite, especially for my brother.  When he became terminally ill at a young age, his main request was to experience some of our mother's home cooking through packages of food that I would mail to him in another state.  He so loved my mother's banana-nut bread that he would savor the entire loaf, keeping it only for himself!  I make it in loving memory of my brother and my mother when I prepare it."
