I have fond memories of "Mrs. Bins" from High School when she was our hall monitor. Having not seen her in 30 years, I ran into her at the Sr. Prom walk through at Columbia and we spoke briefly about my memories and such. It made me happy to see her again. She was happy and strong. I was VERY sad to hear about her passing so soon after our meeting. My deepest condolences. Cathy Bauer Sciarrino

Bins-
I write in my Mom's guest book often so I will write to you as well. We were supposed to be cruising in "Little Red" this summer like we did last. It was a spontaneous trip and we laughed and had a blast even if our hair blew around a bit. Our age difference never seemed to matter and I always enjoyed our time together. Miss you my friend a great deal.

i remember your mom as the best hall monitor in the world, we got away with everything she was the best. i was just thinking about her a few weeks ago, and then i read th paper. She really was the greatest lady in the world and a lot of schools would be better with a lady like that in thier school. ms. bins was never negative and always fair about everything she was a blessing i will miss her

We're so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. She was a friend of ours when we were at Sundance Lakes RV Park in Florida. We had fun together while at the parties, etc. She will be missed at the park. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I had just seen your mother about a month ago shopping. She had just gotten back from Florida and was ready to settle in for the summer. She looked great and we chatted about old times and new. Sue was very proud of all of you and loved you all very much, she seemed very grateful. I will miss her humor and wit. God Bless

Debbie,
Never realize Sue was your mom. I met her a few years ago with Gerry at "Music in the Park". I am in charge of that for the Town. I've never laughed so hard in my life; her sense of humor would bring tears to my eyes. I'm so sorry. If there's anything I can do, do not hestitate to call me.
