An angel whispered, "girly why are you sitting there sad?" I thought; it really isn't a reason to be sad when I think of the loss of my father in law. I got a chance to experience great times with you in my life. I was able to call you whenever, laugh with you, sip MUCH TO STRONG coffee, listen while you gave me much grief, we disagreed on stuff, I would say I'm not listening to you NO MORE and then be told, "girl you not worth two dead flies". I still have no idea what that means but ok Jolly Fat Man, we would end our conversation with ok love you talk later...It's always sad to lose someone dear but it's a blessing to look back on the times you did have and smile. Thank you Jolly Fat Man. Love and miss our laughs.....

Dad, there's not a day go by that I don't think about you.  I have your picture on my desk so that I can get through the day.  You always would tell me to work the job don't let the job work you.  I have so many good memories of you.  Sometimes it's hard to face it, but I know that I have to live the life the way God want me to in order to see you again.                                   mercy

Dad,  I'm so sorry that we wasted so much time and didn't communicate more. I love and miss you more than you would know. You'll be forever with me. 
Love, Pookie.

Dad, yesterday I came across one of the many birthday cards you sent me. The words were sincere and heartfelt. Realizing that I will never get another card fromyou signed "Love Dad" brought tears to my eyes. It hurts more than you'd know that you're no longer here. I love and miss you!

AL, I have such vivid, and wonderful memories of your stable and kind presence in my life over the past twenty-five years.  You never changed.  What glorious support to Nancy, and your family.  I truly admired you as a friend.  I still look.back two rows for you on Sunday's at church.  Will never forget the greens and the Gumbo on New Years' Day!  I sincerely miss you...Connie

Dad, I cant shake this feeling of loss.  I picked up the phone to call you today and was sick to my stomach when it hit me that you wouldn't pick up.  Your advice that has guided me throughout me life is still needed.  I miss you so much!

Hello family im with u all in sprit love all

Days are measured by the rising of the moon to the setting of the sun
Don't let them pass without saying what needs to be said or doing what should have been done
I let pride get in the way now one of the few great men I've known is gone.

My grandpa was a man of virtue who would tell me how it is.
He would say "Wimpy put your selfish desires aside and handle your biz"
"Family first and take care of your kids"

"The only thing that comes before these two, are your prayers and supplications to God above."
He was stern, but yet his words of wisdom was always delivered with love.

Kindness, meekness, gentleness are the characteristics I think of while fighting back the tears. 
If you love someone let them know today, don't let days turn into years.

God forbid you never have to suffer this fate. 
And have to say these words, "Grandpa I love you I pray it's not too late."
If I practice being the man that you were, you will be there to greet me at Heavens pearly gates.
                      I Love You.

Hi Ward, you were like a father to me when I was a kid. Thank you for being an awesome father to my sisters Gloria and Arnetta. You will always be remembered... Rest in Peace! Love Always Myra's daughter Cherissa (Cherri)

Alfredie,
I will always remember my last visit with you & Nancy.  You are one of the best story tellers I've ever met.  It has been a joy to have met and call you friend.

Alfredie,
It has been a pleasure to have known you and your million dollar smile.  Although you have transitioned from your earthly to your heavenly home your legacy of love will live on forever.  
Big hugs and kisses to the Ward family.

Lighting a candle representing the everlasting light (Jesus) in Heaven. Uncle Al is celebrating his journey home. He made it!

It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles.

Uncle Alfredie, although I only had the pleasure of meeting you this past year when you and your wife attended her family reunion in Dallas you welcomed me right in like I was a long time family member.   I enjoyed your stories of living life outside of Louisiana.   I remember you were clean as a tac with those dress shoes and matching suit!  A true man of class who lived his life.  Rest In Peace.   God Bless

On behalf of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Division of HIV and STD Programs, Contract Administration Division, we give our condolences to the Ward family. Prayers are with our co-worker/employee Vicki Ward and her husband Ray.

To my father-in-law Alfredie Ward.....Not!  You mean far more to me than that "Dad". I just wanted to say, things don't seem the same without you. You would probably say to me right now, "No worries Nette Nette, just live life and enjoy it."  Thank you,  for receiving me into your family as a "daughter."  Thank you, for all the love, laughs, and life lessons.  Thank you, for the morning coffee and hoe cakes with syrup.  Heaven is pretty lucky to have you there. You truly blessed my life.  Nette Nette, will love you now, always and forever.  Sending you Love & Tight Hugs until we meet again........

Aunt Nancy I love you and I would've been there but I couldn't find anyone to work for me:( Please know that we are praying for you and your family.

Aunt Nancy my prayers are with you during this hard time. Not quite sure what to say because you have always been the one giving me the uplifting words. Just know God has your back and He hears all so please lean on Him for strength to make it through. I love you and I will be praying for you.

Mr.Ward,
I will always cherish the times I spent with you and Nancy. You were a wonderful father in law and I will never forget the support you gave me during my most trying times. Your sense of humor and laughter, as well as your collard greens and cabbage,will be greatly missed. Thank you for treating my daughter as your granddaughter. She has fond memories of you as a part of her childhood and will always remember "You ain't worth 2 dead flies." We still laugh about that. We love you and we miss you. Prayers for the entire family.

Mr. Ward,
That's what I knew to call him.  I grew up with the Ward family, living across the street, practically all of my life.  Tony and Ray have always been considered brothers from another father and mother.  Mr. Ward welcomed me into his clan with open arms and taught me the same things he did his own sons.  His memories are long lasting and he will surely be missed by all.  Rest in peace Mr. Ward.

Unc, we will truly miss you.  I am so glad Jamod and I had chance to sit with you and Aunt Nancy this St Patrick's Day and enjoy your wonderful cooking. Gary and Tracy also got the chance to sit and laugh with you and catch up this past year.  Now you've gone home and resting in peace.  Tell Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Link, Aunt Fedora and Mamie that I miss them and I will see then again one day.  RIP Unc.

Al was a great friend who I met in 1974 while working the county Jail.  We came up through the ranks together.  Even after leaving that work assignment, we remained very close friends which included long conversations about our past endeavors and friends.  "He will be missed by all"

Pa'pa (Ma'dea),
Thank you for always being so warm, accepting, and hospitable. I am truly at a loss for words. You both served as great role models as Christians, marriage partners, and abundantly kind, generous, and wonderful people. Heaven most certainly broke the mold when God created the two of you, and heaven surely celebrated when the Lord joined the two of you together. Absent from the body is present with the Lord. Pa'pa, I can visualize the Lord Jesus Christ saying to you, "Well done, my good and faithful servant, well done!" May the Lord give the Ward family His peace which passes all understanding, and may you take comfort in knowing Pa'pa was a dignified example of what God intended for man to be, a wise and Godly covering for family and others who were blessed to know him. With an abundance of love, honor, respect, and admiration, Tina & Quincy

Al "Pops" Ward,
Thank you for accepting us into your life.  Tony brought me and Roe into your home and you made us part of the family.  You will be sorely missed and lovingly remembered by us and all those whose lives you touched. We love you...Kevin and Roe.

I am grateful to have had an opportunity to spend time with Paw Paw
during his visits to Colorado. He was always positive and full of
encouragement.  He knew I LOVED his greens, so he would make sure I
got my share of greens.  I will truly miss him, but I believe God is
glad to see him.

My condolences to the Ward family.


Tammy Booth-Myers

Dad,
Words cannot express the true since of loss that I feel at this moment.  You raised me to be a strong man and always move forward.  Thank you for the many years together as father and so and the life lessons you taught me.  Those memories will carry me the rest of my life.
