11 yrs already Grampie & it still seems like yesterday. I miss you every day & that will never change. You are so special to us all & I know you are proud of me & all I've accomplished... you always told me I can do anything. You truly have given me the strength. Landon & Gavyn still ask about you & is so sweet how Landon tells Gavyn stories. That is so special to me. Grampie you left such a void in my heart, & I know you are helping me get through many obstacles.
I love you more than anything as always.
Hope you are enjoying every moment reconnecting with friends that have found you.

Thinking of you especially today. ❤️

Miss you Dad

It is hard to believe that today marks 10 yrs since you gained your wings. It feels like just yesterday, I was packing your pipe, grabbing you a cup of tea & we were laughing at Archie.
Not a day goes by that you are not thought of or spoken to. It is still so hard, Grampie, without you with us. It comforts me to know that your presence is always around, & you have helped guide me in many ways.
Please keep looking over Landon & Gavyn as they have grown up so much.

We loved you then, we love you now & will love you always ❤️ Forever missed is an understatement....

Life hasn't been the same without you.. you would always light up the room with your harmonia or fiddle..

Grampie, what can I say 8 birthday years without you already. It saddens me to the core, it's like every thought, memory, story was told recently & our laughs seem surreal in my dreams. I still miss you just as much as I knew I would the day God needed another special Angel. I guess I thought you would be with us forever, well I prayed you would. Linda has been my rock, my friend & just knows how I am doing like you did without asking. I am blessed having her in my life. She is special in every way Landon is 10 yrs already & as usual remembers you & how much he loved being around you. Gavyn will be 6 yrs old soon, & strongly believes he knows you. I believe him, I mean who can really say otherwise right
Well just letting you know how thought of you are & your presence still lingers all around. It makes life a bit easier knowing I have you to look up & talk to(yes you know I have more than normal)
We all miss you so much, but I know you are up there doing great things, making family & friends smile.
Until next time...please keep me in line & keep watching over us xoxo

Just wanted to wish you a very Happy 98th birthday Grampie. I must say time waits for no one, as it seems like yesterday Landon & I were visiting. It still breaks my heart that Gavyn will never get to see you, but in reality he tells me he knows "Grampy Ward". That really makes me smile as Landon tells him all about you to this day They both play the mouth organ & sound amazing....you would be all smiles & playing with them. Proudly.
I know as you ray upon us, you are proud. Alot has changed, but you have given me the the strength as I know what you would advise. Also to take a chance
Forever thinking of you, forever speaking to you, and forever missing you.
Love you then, now & forever❤

Even tho it's been 4 yrs u left us today, Grampie it still feels like yesterday. U r still my rock, & as u know I ask for ur guidance or talk to u about life all the time.
I was at ur house a few wknds ago with ur "lil man" (as u always called him)Landon & ur other lil man Gavyn. Landon who talks about u on a regular basis sat in ur chair opened ur mouth organ & started to play. Gavyn took the case it was in, held it & wud not let it go. I have to say Linda & I were very impressed on how his first time playing sounded very good. Gavyn stood in front of him danced, holding ur case. I cud picture ur smile which gave me comfort like u were right there with us. Landon now wants a "Harmonica" like Grampie Ward. He also asked if u wud b proud of him & I said "he already is so proud of u & watches over u & Gavyn everyday".
U r always thot of, talked about by all of us & Landon to Gavyn too. He says he misses u alot. We all do.
Luv u then, now & always ❤

Happy 94th Birthday Grampie!! Not a day goes by that I don't think about or have something remind me of you. I know you are watching over us & wish Landon could see you again as he speaks of you often. It would be so wonderful if you were able to meet our other lil man Gavyn, but he will always know of you.
Loved you then, Love you now, Love you always!!!

Three yrs ago today you left us...don't ever think for a moment that you are not truly missed nor forgotten. I talk to you everyday or about u on a regular basis & know you have helped me out alot these past yrs. Landon also always talks about you to us & to lil Gavyn...He wants to send a balloon up in the sky soon from him & his brother...
He said "It will go all the way up to the Angels & right in Grampie Ward's hand". I know you will receive it...
Love you now as much as ever....xx
We miss you Grampie always <3

Not a day goes by I don't think about you, 2 years and it seems like it was yesterday we were sitting down together watching all in the family RIP Grampy your greatly missed

Miss you pepere

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "come with me"

i love you grampy <3

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we have always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of
