To The Ward Family.
So sorry to hear about your loss. We enjoyed both your parents over the 7 years we lived in Poteau, Oklahoma. This saddens our family in many ways. Your mother went on & beyond in working at our first McDonald's. She spread cheer everyday lining up the birthday parties.
She taught an employee, Junior & many others, how to clean the lobby. The store employees became our family. Because of Verna Sue's efforts, we had a reputation of the cleanest store from Houston,Texas-Kansas City,Kansas. We will miss Verna Sue Ward.
Fondly, Matthew, Mark, RuthAnn & John Spidell
