I am saddened by the passing of Mrs. Ward from this life. She was my handwriting teacher at Hamilton Avenue School in the early 1980s. I recall her taking a special interest in me for which I am forever grateful. You have my condolences.

I am so proud and even more honored to be part of such a wonderful family. Nana's devotion to her family was one that couldn't be measured. She always made me feel so welcome and comfortable. There are so many that knew her for a lot longer than I did and others not as long, but whether you knew her for 10 years or 10 minutes she was a woman that made an everlasting impression on your life. I'm sure over the years she taught,not only her children and students, but others that surrounded her, so many lessons...the most important one she taught me was forgiveness. I will carry this with me for the rest of my life and I will think of her every time I'm faced with a situation that warrants the ability to forgive. I will also never forget all the laughs we had sitting around Ron and June's table on Sundays, the way her big, beautiful brown eyes would light up every time she saw a lobster come to the table, and her passion of music (especially Christmas music, even if it was the middle of August!!)Nana will remain in my heart and on my mind always. She is now resting with her one true love and son. My deepest love to all of you. xoxoxo Rachael

June, Mattie & Willie,
Profit and I were saddened on learning of Loretta's passing. Your mother was a very special and kind woman. I can still think of her talking about her love of antiques. Take comfort in knowing that her priority in life was always her family.

Dear June, Matty & Willie,
I share in your mourning of your mom's passing. Your mom was the best anyone could call "mom", she rooted all her life for the family she loved best and everyone else she ever knew. She was one of a kind, always having her door open to welcome you in.
Ma Ward is now with the love of her life and son once again.

Mrs Ward -
God knows that you were tired and it was time to rest. You lived your life to the fullest raising great kids and being an educator to other kids.
There are too many more things to say from the many years, so I will conclude by saying to please say hello and take care of your guys in heaven big and little "D" and you will be dearly missed.
