To Lorraine and family,
I had the pleasure of working with Karen at DHEC. I always admired her. I later worked with Lorraine and learned they were sisters. Such a good family. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Josh, your mama loves you very much. She was so very proud of your band accomplishments and knew like all of us at Simmons-Pinckney that with your talent and brains... you will succeed in life as she did. We are your family too and will forever be here for you. Celebrate her life here on Earth and know that she is now your special guardian angel that is always near. May God bless you as he did your mama and all that had the priviledge to know her....We will all miss her beautiful heart.

To Our Family

Life is here and suddenly gone
for some it's short, for others long.

The answer lies beyond our reach
it's for us to learn and not to teach

Jesus is with us in times we mourn
Jesus has never left us since we were born
With loving arms He comforts the soul
and puts our lives back into control

A time of joy and a time to weep
promises forever our soul He'll keep
Know our heart is grieving
yet we know He'll see us through

Fond farewells to Karen LaShell Wright.

May she rest in peace.

With Deepest Sympathy!
