Trudi, our love and prayers are with you. Pastor Rick was a special man and touched my family in many different ways. Take comfort in knowing he is not sick anymore and God has received a wonderful servant. I also take comfort in knowing that we will one day see him again. We love you, Glenna and family

Trudi:
Dr. Binderup will be missed. He was a very good man. I used to look forward to his phone calls. He was so positive and that would spread to me. Your invitations meant alot. Not everyone opens up and invites someone they don't know to come see them. You are special too.
He is in a better place. No more suffering. We will see him again.
God Bless and if you need anything please email me or if you need to talk... you can email me and I will gladly have a shoulder to lean on.
Take care.
