Ward -- In Loving Memory ofLARRY WARDJanuary 20, 1941 - April 25, 1998Just a little message sent especially for you above With hugs, kisses and tons of love. Since the day you left one year ago today My life was changed in a dramatic way. Each day is so hard to go through. Not one moment passes by without a thought of you. No one will ever take your place Your cowboy hat, smile and warm embrace. Hand in hand, heart to heart, We were joined in love that will not part. I looked up to you because you were someone I could believe in, And who I could depend upon in a world I haven't always understood. I am grateful for all you have given me, for all you taught me And for the strength I'll always have because of you. I love you, miss you, and cherish you. Elizabeth Adair has her daddy with her and I have my two special Angels watching over me.Love Eternally,Jennifer .DMP
