I'm sorry for your loss I took care of Bea at Presbyterian Manor it was a great joy to know her. She will be greatly missed
I don't know whether you remember me or not but I was from Clay Center, KS and my Dad was Dr. Felix Vincent a Chiropractor who was a very good friend or your Mom and Dad's back until 1977 when Dad passed away. Your parents were there to help me through it and were great people. I remember you boys well and grew up with George I believe he was a little older than me at the time, but we did do something together when you were in Clay Center or at conventions. My deepest sympathy goes out to your entire family and your parents were great people and I will always treasure the memories I have of you all and the times our families were together. God Bless You All, Vicki Vincent James
Dr.Ward, sorry for the loss of your mother. I know you were close to her. This comes at such a hard time after just losing your beloved dog. May God give you comfort at this time. Always remember that God never gives us more than we can handle.
Sorry to read about the passing of your mother Bernadine Ward. We members of the Linn Creek United Methodist Church send our condolences. We have a memorial plaque in our Church with Dr. Frank Ward's name on it. We will make an additional plaque for your mother and place it on the memorial plaque with his. God Bless your family Shirley Childers, Secretary Linn Creek United Methodist Church
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a wonderful lady and I know she will be missed by all.
Bob and I were so sorry to learn of the death of your mother and Bob's "Aunt Bernadine". I remember her from some of our earlier gatherings for Thanksgiving. She was always happy and fun to visit with. She welcomed me into the Ward clan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Bob and I talked to Maxine about Bernadine's passing. She seemed quite sad but we are never really sure if she completely understands. She still has moments when she doesn't understand that Loran is gone. We are sorry we could not come for the funeral. God Bless you and your family.
Drs. Gary & Lois, My thoughts & prayers are with you as you mourn the death of your mother. I am sure she will be missed. God bless you. Becky
