An extraordinary woman and my dear high school friend, Nina (Tipps) Binkley passed away on March 21, 2012, at the age of 62. We celebrated her life and said good-bye to her on Sunday, March 25. Throngs of caring people came to pay their respects, some having to wait in line two and one-half hours. That just emphasizes how much Nina was loved and revered by all who knew her. Nina was loving, caring and sharing with all. She was a Master Gardener (as evidenced by her yard of beautiful, bountiful, blooms), an excellent cook, a huge animal lover, a wonderful mother and wife. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to Lee, Matt and Erika as well as Nina's extended family.
