My heart goes out to my sister, Pat & her daughter, Teresa, along with grandchildren & great grandson. James married into our family when I was quite young & I grew up knowing him as a brother-in-law, but looked at him as a father figure also. Losing James so soon after losing my own husband has broken my heart even more. James will be missed dearly because he was a friend to everyone & never turned his back on you when you were in time of needing help. He gave his all to his friends & family. He never thought twice about offering a helping hand. On the 10th of September, 2018, we may have lost a piece of our rock, but the Lord received a valuable angel to Heaven that day. RIP & LOVE James Ward!

To the families and loved ones of Mr. Ward, who we know will be dearly missed. Almighty God promised at Revelation 21:4 that he will wipe away all our tears. And death, pain, and sorrow will be no more. So, you can take great comfort from drawing close to God in prayer. And he will help sustain and support all your families to endure. During these difficult times and in the months to follow. My deepest condolences to all your loved ones.
