Thank you very much for being so kind as to write something as nice as you did Tony. Mom and Dad thought a lot of you, and that is why he trained you. You had the best teacher that taught you! Mom spoke of you often when we talked about the shop.

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Ward. In my early 20's I worked for Mr. Ward at the lawnmower shop and later bought the business from the Ward's, and am still in business there today. I have fond memories of both Mr. and Mrs. Ward, but will especially remember Mrs. Ward for her kindness. To their family, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that you find comfort in your fond memories of her during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Tony Lopez
