The family of Rick Ward would like to thank everyone for the love and support shown to us during this difficult time.  Your visits to our home, phone calls, cards, flowers, donations and gifts of food were greatly appreciated.

Our gratitude extends to Lori and the compassionate Dr. Park and the nurses of the Cancer Unit of WMRH. Rick always had a smile and appreciated the care he received while there. You are all truly amazing. 

We would also like to thank Dr. Barker and Stephanie at The Medicine Shoppe in Pasadena, the help you provided to us was invaluable.  A special acknowledgement goes out to Rev'd Kris Gosse for conducting a beautiful service, also to Mrs. Hounsell for providing the organ music.

Our deepest thanks extends to all who visited the church and attended the funeral. A special mention of appreciation goes to The Anglican Church Woman who provided a delicious meal at our home following the service. Our family and friends were so grateful.
