I am so sorry for your loss. It was my pleasure to have been with him when he passed.i loved him just like je was my family.
To the Wright family and the Savoy church family learning of the passing of Bro Wright brought to mind that a earthly pew has been vacated but a reservation for a mansion was met and filled in heaven! Weep in our sorrow but rejoice in his victory!
We attended church for many years with Bro. Wright. He will be missed very much. Our condolences to all the family and many friends.
Love,
