Sent a gift in memory of Carolyn Sue Ward
Carroll, Mike, Susan, Jeff and Eric,I have very pleasant memories of your wife and mom. She loved large — meaning she gave us her love in every measure of the word — smiles, hugs, invitations, presents, laughter, playing games. We felt included and loved in her presence.From the moment I met her, I felt comforted. I remember the time I was about to go into my first day of 1st grade at Gypsy School. Carroll and Carolyn, then seniors, saw me crying and both came to me and comforted me. It was hard for me but they gave me the extra bit of courage and love I needed to cross that threshold for the first time. I was shaped by that comforting love.Later, when I became a teen, I was invited into their home to stay a week while they lived in Stillwater. I will never forget Carolyn taking me and you kids for a donut run early one morning. She made it fun just going for a donut! I only remember very good times in your home. She made your home special and hospitable and comfortable.When all of us would come to visit, I never once heard her complain about us being there. And, there were a lot of us!Another sweet memory was when I was about 9 or 10 years old. She trusted us with her new baby, Jeff. Prior to going on a vacation, Jeff was dropped off with us. My mom mostly took care of Jeff but your mom made me feel like a big part of his care. I think it was for 10 days or so. When your family returned to pick up Jeff, I remember her saying that she would never leave him so long again. She loved her children so very much.She made things just better because of her calm spirit. She was also pretty feisty and competitive when she played games. Her smile was infectious for sure! Her eyes were very kind and gracious.She was very energetic and was the first one to want to help get things done.I saw her as self-sacrificing and unselfish.All of these special attributes shown very brightly around our large family.Having known Carolyn has forever shaped me in a very positive way. I know I will never forget her.If I could have seen her before she passed, I would have said, "Thank you Carolyn for all the many special memories you gave me while I grew up. I will forever be shaped by them and will never forget them and I will never forget you. I felt loved by you. And, I love you."She was a real "keeper."My thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you especially those who are young. May her wonderful loving spirit live in her grown children so that they may pass it on to their children.Carroll, I know you will deeply miss her every day in every way.Many hugs and much love is sent to you ALL. I'm only a phone call away for any of you. (901-270-8817). I would love to hear from you and reminisce about your wife and mom.I am very sorry I cannot attend the service tomorrow morning.Sharon Ward Hawkins
My condolances goes to the Ward's family. Sorry for the loss of your dear love one. It's a sad moment but the bible give us some comfort in John 5:28,29 "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" What a glorious day that will be to see our love ones again. with deep sympathy,spp
