My dear friend. I can’t express how I miss you now and will miss you until the day we meet again. You were truly a great friend and sistah. The laughs, tears, and all the love you showed me will never be forgotten. Rest well boo. I LOVE YOU????????
I like to send my condolences to the whole Ward Family. Wow what can I say I’ve known lil bit since we were 11 years old needless to say that’s my best friend and I’m going to miss you very much I love you and know you’re going to be my guardian angel in heaven and to the ward family Mama Joan and mr. Ward we was probably Hell on Wheels growing up! but how many people can say that they live life on their terms! I can! And I was able to do so with my best friend who I love very much!. and as I sit here right this I try not to get so emotional but I think about all the many laughs you given me throughout the years and that would have me laughing for all the years of my life I love you dear friend until we meet again rest in heaven
Lilbit, words can not explain the way I feel. But I remember what you promised me, that you will watch over me and guide me in my life. I know you will because like our sister Lisa, who not only watched over me, but you too. Now I have you both watching over me. I know you are there because I can feel you.You and Lisa live on in me. You told me not to cry and be sad anymore. I won’t. We all will be together one day. I will always cherish the moments that we had on this place called Earth. We talked about what you are gonna do and have in the afterlife… “ A SIMPLE LIFE “ you said with Caspion. And I know that’s what you are doing……I Love you??
I had to wait until my soul was ready. I am so proud of my nephew. The gentleness, the sense of family, that is demonstrated here is a testament and memorial to his living. I am sweetly reminded of that “big family that lived in that small house”, and how as a young man I would often walk down to visit my sister and her family. Frank was always fixing or building or repairing something and Felicia and the kids were always smiling and happy. Those were good days, and I pray that, when the time is right, God will recall them in both of your hearts with gladness and joy. I loved Little Bit, I loved, Frank, I Loved Frankie, and I love my sister. May God wrap you in his infinite Love, and comfort you in the midst of this sorrow.
I love you cousin and will always remember your friendly smile and kind heart.
What a beautiful tribute to an amazing cousin! May the Lord rest your soul and bless your family until you meet again.
With love,
Yolanda
Words can not express the grief and loss that you, Frank and the family are feeling at this time! But those cherished memories of “Lil Bit” will lighten the pain as time passes by! That smile, that respect and that kindness that “Lil Bit” always had for me I always will remember! My prayers are with you all!

It seems like yesterday we were fighting when we were younger, and you would always beat me up, but if anything ever went down with somebody outside of the family you’ve always have my back from Turner School to Kirkwood High and even as adults we still may get angry at each other and had different lifestyles but to me you will still always be my Big Brother even though you didn’t think of yourself as that. Just remember no matter what gender you chose I still love you and I will miss you love you and Lisa.
Love you Lil Bit ,always eternal.
I would like to give thanks to you Lilbit, for everything that you have done for me, and the whole family. You would always take me to that card shop, so that I could play video games with other competitive players. I would always offer you gas money, due to the fact that the place was very far away, but you would never accept it. Very generous, and kind hearted indeed. Words cannot express how much everyone misses you. You will not be forgotten. May your soul rest in peace Lilbit.
5/19/23 I just learned of your passing and I am crushed. My childhood friend. So much to say and yet no words. I had thought of you often. Much love. Always
