Mom from 'The Fighter' passes away


Alice Ward, played by Mellisa Leo, passed away last week at the age of 79. Leo has often credited her performance, which won her a Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, to Mrs. Ward and her love of her children.

She died in a Boston hospital, one day after being taken off life support. Her family said Ward had been suffering from heart-related problems since early January.

I have no doubt Mr. Ward was loved and will be missed. If she is anything like she's portrayed in the movie, she was a strong women and her family was luck to have her. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones.
