Dear Mom, Its hard to believe a full year has passed since you left. A lot has changed over the past year, some of it good, some of it not so good. I can't look at chicken soup or waffles without thinking of you. I miss you.

Dear Mom,
I just wanted to wish you a Happy Mothers Day. It is a really tough day for me with you being gone and both my kids grown now and gone. I have been trying to figure out how you managed to go through it 14 times!! Well, at least I will be going to work and maybe it will be a distraction. I love you mom!! I'm glad you can spend today with Grace. Love, Esther Joy

Hey Mom,
It is Easter and you are not sitting on the couch in the Living Room doing your puzzles while Tim gets the Ham ready for the Dinner. We all enjoyed a chuckle when you would turn down Ham because it gave you gas. Not that it stopped you from puttering about.... We miss you.
Love, John

Then you wrote that I was beautiful,6lbs 10oz. so alert and wide awake. I wanted to thank you,mom, for giving me life. I love you and miss you daily. Love,Esther Joy

Dear mom,
well, it's Christmas. Your favorite time of the year. So many memories are flooding through my heart and mind right now and so many about you. You kept us together as a family and fed us the best Christmas ham. But the best part of Christmas was with knowing everyone was going to be there. We will be going to Tims in the morning and it will be hard not seeing you there..scooting your way out to the back room to open gifts with everyone. I know your in Heaven looking down on us and your able to spend Christmas with Grace.something you have not been able to do in years. You both have your wings now and I know your going to be with us. In our hearts and souls you are not forgotten. I miss you mom. I miss you Grace Elizabeth (you were the best sister anyone could ever wish for) I love you both. Love, Esther Joy

Dear Mom, This Thanksgiving was our first without you. You were the heart and soul of our family and i miss you. I was so confused because I had no one to trick into eating the sweet potatoes thinking it was butternut squash. We waited for you to call.... Don took your seat this year and I made him complain! Mom...it is so hard here without you... I love you so much and miss you. I know you spent your first Thanksgiving with Grace in many years and I know that made you happy...I'm glad your at peace in Heaven...I love you Mom...Love, Esther Joy

Hi Mom,
We have started working on cleaning your room. It is slow going because there are so many memories tied up in there. It is still hard not to walk past the sofa and not see you there. We have continued on without you, but the trip is a little more difficult now.
I miss you mom.

Dear Mom,
I can't tell you how hard this has been. I miss you so very much and still find myself planning my day's off around you. I find myself crying for no reason other than I know that your not here to comfort me. Tim sent me a text the other day telling me that matthew wanted to make a grandma to sit on the end of the couch so that things would be normal again..that will never happen..even if we were going to use a watermelon head. I love you,Mom and miss you every day. Love your Esther Joy

Dear Mom,
I went to Norfolk to pick up my car last weekend, and walking into the house and not seeing you on your couch, with your puzzles and telephone, hurt more than I ever thought it could. I miss you so much. I think of you every day, and am reminded of you constantly. I love you.
John Wright
August 24, 2008
Dear Mom,
Even though it has been almost a month since you left us, I still wake up just before 9 so I can get out there and start the water for you oatmeal and tea. The couch doesn't look right without the sheet on it. We are all still sharing our 911 stories, and which one of us was on your evil list for the day. We all know now why you were like that, but knew that somewhere in that confusion you still were there when you would crack a joke at our expense. I miss you.
Love,
John

Dearest Mom.
It was a month ago (already) that I last heard your voice. It seems like a lifetime ago now- when you asked me to call you one more time before bedtime. How I wish I had. I love you so much- you funny, sweet mother. I hope you aren't tired anymore.
Mary Wright
August 22, 2008
Dear Mom,
Its going on a month now that you left, and its still strange to walk into the house and not see you on the couch. I miss the way you'd roll your eyes at me when you saw me coming through the door. Nobody can bring themselves to clean out your room either, I guess we are just not ready yet. I have always loved you mom, and I miss you. That phone call meant more than you could ever imagine. We know in our hearts it was without a doubt you.

Mom, I think of you every day, pretty much all day long. Remembering you doing your crosswords, remembering how you and dad used to make funny faces to get us all laughing. You always said its better to laugh about something than cry, so that is what we are trying to do. I love you, and miss you. Love, Ruth

Dear Mom,
I cannot tell you how much I miss you, and how much I love you. Thank you for your true appreciation and encouragement of any project that I was working on. Thank you for telling me that I am a great teacher when I was so discouraged that I wanted to quit teaching. Thank you for your sense of humor. Thank you for being so strong, and for holding on long enough to bring your children together. I miss you so much it hurts, but I know that you have shed the physical body that was so tired, and hurt so much. I love you, my beautiful little mama.

Dear Gramma,
If your reading this....
I walked into Uncle Tim's house the other day just a few days after your decent into heaven, and I felt a sense of emptieness. It really is not the same with out you there lounging on Uncle Tim's couch, with your BIG EYE looking at the GIANT worded crossword puzzles(sometimes (well all the time) looking at the answers). I am so used to walking and and saying "Hi Gram" with your rutine resonse "Hey nikki"... You really were loved and truely ment the world to a lot of us. I mean we never had a dinner with out talking about you! I hope you are happy and I am glad that I was there with you for the begining of your journey. You are my Gramma and I will always love you!
* your journey has begun, the angels have sung.. You praised the lord and sang your sweet songs.. He knows its your time.. My you go now in peace, and know you will always have the love of your family. Lord thank you for her day(the one she awaited), and accepting her into your arms, please take care of her as her children and some grandchildren did. May she find her internal peace and live freely with your for the rest of eternity. *

Hello all & God Bless you,
Tim can tell you who I am, Angela Mandrell. I am a friend of Tim, your Mom & Virginia. I just want to say, I wanted so to be at the memorial for your Mom and all. And to see you all again. I now live past Vestal Center, in process of divorce. I lost my Mom a year ago. God Bless her, we miss her so, but would not ask for her back with all her sufferings.
I don't know what happen to your Mom, but I do know she is a child of God, a good lady and is well taken care of now. I have wanted to see again her but could not find her. I've lost touch with Tim and Virginia also. Please let them know how to reach me. with my e mail.
You all take care, as your beautiful Mom would want you to. God Bless. My Love, Angela

Aunt Mina,Aunt Cora and my many Wright cousins:
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your sister and mother. My aunt will be much missed by all who loved her. We shared many "short" jokes. I'll miss the playfull jabs we took at one another over the many years about our shared vertical challenges. She was a good person and will be greatly missed. In heaven she will always be my late Dad's much loved little sister.

My memories of Mrs. Wright were of church and all her lovely children. How I wished I knew she was ill as I would have come to visit and given her my thank yous for her undying love to us girls at Calvary. I can still smell her homemade breads and all those goodies she used to make. Well, Norma I am glad that we can finally say "WELL DONE YOU FAITHFUL SERVANT. ENTER INTO THE HEAVENLY GATES" My prayers are with all of you and you know if I don't see you here, I will surely see you in heaven. Jesus loves us all no matter where we stand today!

Dearest Mother, It is so hard to know you are gone and I can't make my daily calls to you any more. I hope you know that I got as much or more out of those calls than you did!

Norma,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My fond memories of your mother was her many visits with my grandmother. Because of her sweet and heartfelt demeanor, I looked forward to her visits. She was such a wonderful Godly woman who planted seeds and ministered to many young girls in our church, and looking back, especially myself included. Talk about Jesus and His love abiding in her! Mrs. Wright was the true example of a Godly Christian woman.
