After hearing of Dad Wards passing I was recalling all the family get togethers and how much fun we would have. The awesome meals Mom Ward would prepare, the laughter and the love that fill the air. Both Willard and Barb will forever be Mom and Dad to me. Rest in peace Dad and give my love to Mom, Steve and Kathy. We all will be together again, God's promise. Prayers and heart felt condolences to the family
