**Note from Lila in the recipe
We lost our sweetheart sister this year, but here is one of her best recipes ever. If yo were lucky enough to taste her banana bread, you know it was memorable just like she is. Lady industriously sold her bread at the store from over-ripened bananas and it's delicious. It's okay to cry when you make it thinking about Lady and even sniff a little when you're eating it. Heaven knows I wasn't able to type it up withou crying. Thank you Lady for giving us such wonderful memories of your goodness and wisdom, for feeding half of Montana and of course for sharing your recipes.
