Dr. Ford is very remarkable person I ever met in my life!! He prioritized all his patients before his own health. His joy is to help all his patients. In many occasion he told me, he will only stop working or serving his patients when he stops breathing, as long as he can breath no one can stop him doing things what he loves to do and that is serving all his patients and he proved it. Until now, I cannot believe he's gone.
Life is so unpredictable!

To Mom Jeanette and Family, please accept our deepest condolences. May God give you and your family the comfort and peace that you seek and may the soul of your loved one rest in peace.

Dr Ford was the most caring, compassionate person who always went above and beyond for his patients. After 38+ years of seeing him I am beyond shocked and upset. Never again will I find a doctor who truly cares about his patients the way he did. I/Georgetown have lost a wonderful Dr./man/friend. My deepest condolences to Janeatte and the entire Ford family. xo

Dr. Ford was a remarkable caring person. He would always take the time out of his schedule to ask about the family and was truly interested. I was a patient of his for years and his bedside manner will never be duplicated. In a time when there basically is no time, and people get caught up in the electronic side of life, Dr. Ford gave that human touch. He had the ability to reach out and touch both your heart and your soul. A true gentleman. I can't help but wonder if God has much bigger plans for him in heaven. I will miss him very much and can't believe that he is gone.

I am truly heart broken to know that we have lost such a dear, caring gentleman as Dr. Ford. I had the privilege of having Dr. Ford as my doctor for over 35 years and he and his staff always were kind, compassionate and so willing to help. In our family, he will be forever know as "Dr. 8", being years ago when my daughter got it in her head his name was a number (4!) and thought it was 8! He always chuckled over that. You never visited his office, without him asking after family members by name and no matter the circumstances of being at the office or hospital with him, you felt like you mattered.

To Mrs. Ford and family, my heartfelt condolences to you all. He spoke of his children and grandchildren with pride and love. I hope you are able to find some comfort in the memories you will have always.

He will be truly missed.

We are so sorry for your great loss of husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncle, friend & mentor. Sorry that we won't be able to pay our respect in person this weekend but our thoughts & prayers are with you all as you grieve this great loss. May the God of Hope & Peace comfort you all.

Come With Me

The Lord saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put his arms around you
and whispered, "Come with me"

With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
A beautiful smile at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.

It's lonesome here without you
We miss you so each day,
Our lives aren't the same
Since you went away.

When days are sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper,
"Cheer up and carry on."

Each time we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping,
We'll meet again someday."
