Ward, you are a true friend and someone who I have always had the upmost respect and admiration for. You gave such a fresh perspective of what it means to live life to the fullest. ( John 10:10 )You faced many physical and heart felt challenges and yet your joy endured! You have been such an example of faith, joy and true strength to me and so many others. Your smile and knuckles shown in the photo above brings a smile because you are of a true warrior for the gift of life.  All things are made new ( Rev. 21:4 )and I share in your complete joy!  Love you Ward! and I can hear you telling me the same! 

I have had the honor of taking care of Ward for the past 4 years!!! We have always been close but since my own devastating loss we have grown closer. He held my hand, gave me a hug, shown me love, and ALWAYS leant an ear to me during my time of grief. I was his nurse the last nights of his life. I will never forget his hand upon my face when I leaned over his bed that first night to tell him he was stuck with me until the end and him telling me that he loved me. I’m so glad the family understood our relationship and let me be there for all of them when it was needed the most. I love you all... 

It was such a pleasure to take care of Mr. Akins when he was in the hospital. He was one of the nicest men I've ever met. I'm sorry to the family for your loss. After talking with him a lot when he was under my care, he told me that he knew that he was going to heaven and I'm sure he's walking the streets of gold. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.
