I am a nurse a the VA hospital. Mrs. Ward always took time to speak to me and flash me her beautiful smile. I enjoyed assisting in her medical care. She was a great strong role model. I was downhearted after I picked up the newspaper on Sunday. My prayers are with you all.

I wish Cheryl, the girls and I could be there. Aunt Jean was like my mother. We could talk about anything, even to this day.
We just had a big conversation about Kelli and her new baby and Kerri moving to FL to live with us.I love her with all my heart and will miss her greatly. Love to you all....Blessings
