Dear Dr. Ward, Ben and family:
David and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. We truly do know what you are feeling with our past experiences of loosing both our parents, and we know it is a very difficult thing to go through.
We do pray you will soon be able to remember the wonderful memories you have of him. I know it's difficult now, but with time you will be able to.
May God Bless and be with each of you. He seemed to have be quite a person and would have loved to have met him. I know if you are anything like him he would have been a wonderful person.
May the concerns of family and friends comfort you now and in days to come.
We miss you so much, Dr. Ward. We do hope you are doing well. I still want to do lunch with you and Vernell.
With Love,
Lynn and David Price

Mr. Ward was one of the kindest people I have ever met. We are so sorry to learn of his passing. He always spoke so proudly of his family and was a delight in our office. We will miss his monthly visits--we have considered him a part of our chiropractic family for the last several years and I will always remember him fondly.
Our deepest sympathies to his family.

Bill, Ben & families,
I just happened to pick up the Jackson paper yesterday and saw the obit for your Dad. I know it has been many many years since we have seen ya'll, but I can't help remembering what wonderful neighbors you were in Shelby and how much we enjoyed visiting ya'll when you lived in the "Barn" house. Your Dad was one of the nicest, sweetest men I ever met. Your Mom was pretty super, too! My Mom and Dad always talked so fondly of Ben and Dinks. I know you will miss them, but also know that you know they are both now together in the greatest place any of us could be - in the presence of our Lord.
Contact me when you get a chance at [email protected] June W. Patterson representing the Richard and Cleo Westbrook family.

No words can convey feelings at a time like this.
It seems to me the longer parents accompany their children on this earth, the greater the loss at their time of departure.
I miss seeing you weekly, and will always admire the great man you are.
May God bring blessings to you & yours.

There are not words that can express how wonderful, thoughtful and caring Big Ben was. I feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to know your dad. Working with him was such a joy. He was amazing and one just forgot at times he only had the one arm, it never slowed him down. It was great when he could come to breakfast with the old gang from Health Education. He never changed from the time when we all worked together. You and your family will be in my prayers. I know Big Ben is in haven and working hard for the Lord there, just as he did here on earth.

The bond you have with your Father is not lost; nor is it any longer limited by time and distance. Your Father's spirit and memories will live on forever, for you are a part of him.
Please accept our deepest sympathy over the loss of your Father and know we are thinking of you and your family.
