I am so sorry to hear about your
loss. I have often thought of him,
and remembered him as being kindly
and giving. Remembering the good
times of him carry us through. He
was never without understanding,
and always able to offer a hand
without question and offer his
sound advice in times of trouble.
Our prayers are with you and yours
at this time. Sincerely, Mary,
Rodney, Melody Binns

I just want to say to Sherry how
sorry I am about your Dad. It is
never a good time to let go of
someone you love. I know he is in
a better place, and I guess it was
just his time to go. Only God
knows best.


We can never take life for
granted. We need to live each day
to the fullest because you never
know what might happen.


I love you and you are in my
prayers.


Love, Tammy
