You will be missed by so many "Nana Bino" - I know you'll be watching over Taylor to make sure she behaves. I was lucky to have had you in my life.

JoJo, Patty, Eileen, Terry, Billy and Mary, Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. "Auntie Josie" was like a second mother to me growing up! Let's remember the good times, her homemade pizza, playing cards on Saturday night, sneaking downstairs, when I ran out of money for food for Auntie Flo & Uncle Bobs anniversary party and she pulled thru with a ton of food, those were the good ole days. I wish I could be there with you for support; hang in there......she's happy now as she's with Uncle Bill. Love to all of you. Leslie The Tewell Family

Whilst visiting Christy (my sister) and her husnabd Bill on a couple of occasions I was honoured enough to meet Josephine. She immediately made me feel like one of the family and I have thought of her many times, even though I live far away in England. She was a truly wonderful lady and inspirational I know to so many. One of a kind, who will be so sadly missed by famly and friends alike. But what an incredible life she had! Sleep tight now and know you were loved. Sandra and Gary XX

Nana Bino, Words cant even describe how much i miss you. You were the one who brought our family together. I love you so much. I knew I could tell you anything, and you would give me the best advice. I am so thankful to have had someone as great as you in my life. I know you are watching over me as I type. I am very happy you are in a better place and with Papa Bino! Nina told me how long you have been waiting to see him again. I try not to think of the fact that you are not physically here and more, but at the same time i know you are watching over me and protecting me as i move forward in my life. I just miss all the memories in the house and i the love and laughter we shared. I try to talk to you before i go to sleep. I hope you hear everything i say! I'll see you again someday! And i will finally get to meet Papa Bino! I Love & Miss you! -Emily <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
