To the sweet three Ward boys, whom I cared about very much. Your Dad was a wonderful man . He was always kind to me and Koreen and Amie. May he be with his sweet wife Ruth. Please carry on what he has taught you and the love he gave all of his family. Sincerely Sallie who lived next door!

Remembering Jerry, he always had a smile. He loved his boys. They could make him so mad but would quickly turn into laughing. Couldn't stay mad at them. It was impressive how he would take the family on wonderful trips around the United States and Canada. Jerry was a very hard worker. He encouraged his family to work hard and play hard. He loved his grandkids incredibly. I am grateful for that and carry fond memories of him in my heart. I send my love to all of you.

Even though we didn't get to see him often since his move west, his visits were always anticipated with excitement. I remember his being at Dad's home to support Mom and the rest of us in her journey Home to her Saviour & family. He knew so much about so many things! Intelligent, ambitious, hard working, and always interested in people and most of all, his love for his family - these are the things I remember about Uncle Jerry. Love and comfort to you all. Love, Jody, Bruce, Alyssa & Matt

Grandpa,
I loved hearing about your strawberry farm in Michigan. I loved hearing stories about our grandma and what a great wife and mother she was:) I am glad you are with her now and are not suffering. I love and miss you! Thanks for all you did to help out the family. Love Brandi Law

Grandpa,
I love you. I miss your smile and your jolly laugh, but I know you have waited for this family reunion with those who have gone before you for a very long time. I can only imagine what a joyous occasion that must have been for you...I can picture it in my mind and feel it in my heart. I'm so thankful for the memories I have to hang on to until we meet again. I love you Grandpa.

Xoxo- Michele

Dad, you are so loved and will be missed more than you can possibly know! We had great times travelling together and camping together! You were the biggest help we had with our first home, and always willing to help in any way that you could. You were a loving father and grandfather and your family knew how much you loved them. You were very thoughtful and sent a birthday card to each person in your family every year. Your kind deeds have impacted all of us and we are better people for having you in our lives. You taught your boys to work hard, and your grandkids saw what a hard worker you were yourself! We also know your love you had for the Savior and that you wanted all of us to know Him and love Him as well. We know you are having a wonderful reunion with your family that has gone on before you, and look forward to the time when we will meet again on the other side. We love you and you will always be in our hearts, Love Tom & Nichole
