Dear Family,

I was so saddened to hear of Mrs. Wright's passing. We worked together for a few years at St. Peter's Academy in Gifford. She was such a dear person who really cared about her students. We had such a fun time working together. We kept in touch for a little while after she left our school. I always thought that we would get a chance to visit one another again. She was truly a very special person and I am glad to have had the opportunity to know her.
Please accept my deepest condolences. I will always remember that beautiful smile. She will truly be missed.

Aunt Barbara had a heart of gold. I could not speak at the funeral because of the fear of breaking down. I won't pretend I knew her well but I loved her and she touched my life with her generosity. My 2nd daughter (Chelsea) expressed the desire to learn piano and Auntie didn't hesitate. She said I'll be happy to teach you, and she didn't ask for anything in return. Chelsea didn't stick with it but Auntie always continued to encourage her to come back. Her home was always open for holidays and birthdays. She'll be missed. Rest in Peace Auntie.

My sincere condolences to the Wright Family, losing a loved one is never easy, but God chooses the best roses to place in his garden. May you find peace during this time of grief, strength in your time of weakness. I pray Jesus wraps his arms around you all during this time and comfort you all. But celebrate as she is in a much better place and her memories and smile will certainly live in. Peace and Blessings
