Ward and family. Sorry to learn of your loss. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Ward and Family our hearts go out to you in loss of Liz. The picture of her holding her granddaughter reminds us she does live on in her family’s lives. She has left a beautiful legacy in Cathy, Serena, Isabel and Lincoln whom she loved along with her caretaking husband, Ward. Unless we have gone through the loss of a spouse due to a progressing illness it’s hard for us to understand the courage, endurance and selfless love a caregiver is called upon to give. Ward you were a good and caring husband to Liz. I remember how much Liz appreciated and grew spiritually from the Shepherd’s Chapel broadcast. She’s now with the Good Shepherd who loves her.
We’re so sorry for your loss, Ward. We will keep you and your family in our hearts and prayers.
Ward, I am so sorry. You and Liz were such soul mates. My sympathy to you and your family.
My deepest sympathy Ward and family of Liz. Liz was such a beautiful person inside and out. I always enjoyed running into her when I was home to visit in Canton. May God grant you comfort and peace during these difficult times. She will be missed.
Peace and love to you and your family Ward.
May God hold you in his arms Liz… My thoughts and prayers are with you Ward , Cathy and the family…..I will miss you Liz…❤️…
