My brother, Bernard, was so cool and kind unlike some of my sisters. He would not have cheated myself or the rest of my family out of what was left of my parents estate.They took everything for themselves and threw away any family ties that they could of had in the future. You never know how heartless people can be until someone dies.

Bernard Ward was a true and great friend to me. I always looked up to him and enjoyed his friendship to the fullest. I just found out 2 days ago that he was gone. I came to Locust Grove, Ok. to pay him a visit on Aug. 31st. 2009, and that's when I found out the terrible news. A lady a Willard's told me about what had happened to him and my heart just dropped. I always thought alot of him and cared alot about him. He was always there if someone was in need, he was always there to lend a helping hand. Still to this day I always called Uncle Bernard, even though now I am almost 32 yrs. old. I will never forget you, you were a big influence on my life. Thanks so much for being there when I needed a friend, thanks for everything. May you rest in peace Uncle Bernard. Love always, Paul S. Field II of Fort Collins, CO.

My brother Bernard Ward from Locust Grove was one of the fllood victims. He was on his was to help a friend when he was swept away by flood waters 14 miles west of Kingfisher to Omega BLack Top north of Hwy 33. He was a great and honest father, son, brother. May he rest in peace. Love, Sister Madlyn Long

My hart goes out to all affected by this flood. Our house was one of the 150 homes that they said got hit, and we lost everything.

When I was born in 61, Kingfisher had one of its worst floods, we have picture slides of it! They took us by boat to higer ground! LOL My first boat ride!

I remember when they moved Kingfisher Creek to help stop the flooding and the way "West Bottom" used to flood. And they say Oklahoma is dry!! Is the Cimarron River full? Marsha
