My Prayers and thoughts are with the Wright family,May you find peace in your time of sorrow and just know that God needed another angel and hand picked "Lannie". I met Yolanda in 1989 at Voorhees College and she was like a big sister to me, she would always tell me the RIGHT thing to do. I ran into her again in 2008 at a family gathering in Charleston,SC and she was the same loving, caring, "Lannie". Sorry I cant be there to pay my last respect to you but I LOVE YOU but God Luvs you more. You Will be Missed and to the family, God will give you Strength. Norma Linen and Family. Charlotte, NC

To the Wright-Waring Family & Friends, Lanie and I attended Voorhees together. I am stationed in Japan but my prayers have been bombarding heaven for your strength and comfort. I see Lanie as a beautiful green butterfly. As a snail matures to become a butterfly. This butterfly represents completion. Lanie has also gone through a transition in which she has left this earthly life and no longer will she have to endure the things of this world. Just as God has called her home. May we find comfort in the days to come & allow God to heal the void in your hearts. For we know not the time or the day that our God shall call us but may we live our life in such a way that is pleasing to Him that we may see her again. Look to the hills from whence comes your HELP, it comes from the Lord. God will answer your prayers and will be your Comforter to those that are comfortless. May God Bless, Keep and Guide you.

To The Family Of Yolanda:
You have given us all such a wonderful person to love and remember in the days to come, she will still be loved, never, ever forgotten. I know you are feeling so lost right now because she is no longer in your presence. Just, if you can, think of her in the presence of GOD now , smiling that big, beautiful smile that she has. She is truly home now. Continue to go through life knowing that she has touched so many people with her angelic spirit and heart. She has left a genuine smile over all she came in contact with. Now, she is in God's hands and he will take great care of our friend, your wife,your mother, your daughter and sister. She is Safe now, safe in his arms.

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To the family of Mrs. Yolanda Wright-Waring it is with deep sadness as I write and reflect on Landa. She was a co-worker of mine at J.K. Harris&Company, she was very personable, caring, sweet, and always had that beautiful smile everyday. If you were feeling down, it was her that would uplift you and give you encouraging words. I saw Landa a month and half ago at a store and was so glad that I was able to talk & hug her, not knowing that would be the last time. I say to the family to look unto the hills from whence cometh your help, for your help cometh from the Lord! Its going to be a long road ahead missing her but as time goes on God will will heal all sorrows. I will keep your family in my prayers!
