I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Binkley – Elaine’s – passing. She was a dear friend of my entire family, and just thinking about her sly humor makes me smile.

Words are difficult, but I want you to know I’ve been thinking about all of you during this difficult time. We have lots of memories and Elaine played a special role in the making of those memories. We had a special group and the mom’s were the glue of our youth. Elaine is safe in the arm’s of Jesus and he supports us as well. Bless, your friend Grover Cribbs.
Steve,
