Dear friend Elaine, I just found out today about the loss of your wonderful, loving husband.
You were both such very good friends after the loss of my own husband.
Ward would always share his time and mechanical ability when something
fell apart or needed repair. He was so gracious with his financial advice and
reassurance. It was a privilege to know such a man.
I share your heartbreak.
With love,
Grace Wegman and Barbara Campbell
Ward and Elaine are very dear to me. Ward is the reason I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior. Ward was always quick witted that always made you laugh!! His love for the lord is beyond measure, he will be dearly missed! When I get to Heaven I can’t wait to see him. Love to Elaine and family.

I have fond memories of Ward. A Godly man who had a heart of gold. He was a good friend of mine and my family. He will be dearly missed. Prayers for Elaine and family.
I remember quite a few years back when our church was still FBC of Fruitland Park, a group of us were out witnessing to a neighborhood. Later on at the church Ward encouraged me not to get discouraged if I saw no results from witnessing. Helps me when I think of that encouragement.
Also, I got a virus in my computer about that same time frame and he came and worked almost a whole day, fixed it and didn't charge a penny. Turned out the culprit had an ID that ended in 666. I had been in a few Christian chat rooms so I have been more cautious since then. Ward was a wonderful example of a Godly man and Elaine is also of a Godly woman.
Elaine,
Please know I'm praying for you during this difficult time. I know that Sparks, as many affectionately called him is not only walking those streets of gold, he has probably set up an amazing workshop. I also know that he is boasting about Jesus, and the work he has and is doing! Sparks was a great friend and mentor, and I can't wait to get to heaven to see him and to hear him say junior, as he did every time he saw me.
God Bless you.
Chris Bell jr.
