So sorry to hear about your loss. I just found out about it a few days ago through Shawn and I was taken back to all the fun times we had growing up (especially Binky calling me Shannon :) If there is anything you need please contact me. Once again, I am so sorry for your loss and you are always in my prayers. God Bless

It's almost been two months since I heard about Binky's passing. Didn't get the chance to make the memorial service so I'd just like to stop by here to pay my last respects and send my condolensces to the rest of the family. He was definitely a good person and a strong influential figure in my life for the time I've gotten to know him. Hated the fact I couldn't see him again before he passed away, though I'm satisfied in knowing he's in God's hands now first and foremost along with the fact I at least had the chance to let him know of the impact he's made on me(as I'm positive he's done with a countless number of others who've crossed his path) before he left the states. Rest In Peace Ryland, you live on within our hearts.
