I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Lois, Charlene, and Julie. I still treasure memories of visiting the Ward household as a child, and my Mom's and my visit to you up in Duluth a few years ago. Gary was a gracious, warm man, and a great storyteller. He is in the arms of Jesus now, and I pray God's comfort for you all. I donated to Camp Hope in his honor. Love, Kathy S.
