Our Deepest Sympathy for your loss, the Binkley Family decatur, IL US
My best friend. We enjoyed the many 2 hour long "Chili" lunches we shared. We relived all of our childhood memories and kept up on what all of our old friends were doing, living, etc. I will miss him a lot. Hope he is enjoying that great big "chili den" in the sky. A true friend…… Decatur, IL US
Grandpa J.J., I wish we could have had more time together, but God took you away from all of your pain and suffering and I know you are in Heaven having the time of your life. Your family loves you so much and you will always be in our hearts and never forgoten. I know you are our guardian angel watching over us every day until we meet again. Nobody could have asked for a better grandpa and I will remember all of the memories we made together forever. You will be missed so much. Although our hearts are aching I know you are in a better place and with the rest of your family. Not a day will go by with out a thought of you.
