Dear Scotty, Brian and Danny,
I was so sorry to hear about your Dad from Uncle Dick this past week. He is at peace now and free from the pain he has suffered for so many years. And I am sure Aunt Shirley welcomed him with open arms. It is so hard to lose our parents, I still grieve.
It would be nice to open some lines of communication with all the cousins we have not seen or heard from in so many years. My email is [email protected] and would love to hear from you all. You all are in my thoughts and prayersKathy Ward Huber

I am so sorry about Uncle Bruce. He was a wonderful man. I have many warm memories of wonderful times when you all lived by Grandma and Grandpa Ward. Know that you all are in my prayers. Can you imagine what it is like as another Ward meets up with everyone in Heaven? Joyous I am sure! Take care cousins although we do not see you, please know you are in our hearts!❤

Brian, We were so sad to hear about your dad. He was such a nice neighbor to have on !5th St. He would always bring us tomatoes from his garden and sit and chat with us.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
