Wanda, Debbi & Butch,
We are saddened to hear of Uncle Howard's homegoing but rejoice in knowing that he's finally with his Lord, Aunt Mozelle and other loved ones. It won't be long until we'll see him again. I'm glad I was able to see and talk with him this past Christmas at Wanda's. Wish we could be there with you but know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and we love you.

Dear Debbi, Wanda, Butch and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Bro. Wright's passing. He had a full, blessed life and left a legacy of which you can all be proud. Ronnie thought very highly of him as a friend and pastor. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Debbi, Wanda, & Butch: We are so sorry to hear of Brother Wright's passing. He was a cherished Brother to the Reverend and Mrs. Auzzie Williams family. After Dad's passing, Brother Wright became my Pastor and great friend. Also, the Grier family (Nadene and B.E) which has passed. If you'll always remember our fathers taught us the right way. If we would put our faith in God, He will keep us in the hollow of his hand. We will always keep the Wright family in our thoughts and prayers. If we can ever help you in any way, don't hesitate to contact us. [email protected]
