What can I say about my beautiful Grandma Louise. She had a great influence on my life. I was always amazed how she put the needs of others before her own and never complained about anything. I always looked up to her for advice. It is hard to believe she is gone. Even though the last few years were becoming more difficult to visit Grandma, I always knew that she silently understood.
Another thing that I want to share is that grandmother never spoke about others in a negative way and her devotion to God was amazing. She put God first in everything she did and looked to him for direction. When she made a promise to God, she always kept that promise.
These are the things people may or may now know about her.
She took such good care of my grandfather Alvin Ward. When Al became ill, she devoted her time in becoming a caretaker for him and never complained about taking care of him even though it was a challenge at times. She put her needs second and gave up so much to make sure he was comfortable. They made a very good team. Life will not be the same without her in it.


She will be greatly missed by me and after a life of taking care of others, God can now take care of her.

The greatest blessing is that she is resting peacefully, a well deserved rest, for she has earned it.

I love you grandmother Ward and I will carry you in my heart forever.
