My fondest memories from elementary school will always include your mom, Allen Wright.
I still remember her showering you with daily kisses, hugs and kind words of encouragement as you were and shall always be, her sweet baby boy.
She was a beautiful person and a godly example for us all. She was able to display those innate characteristics that all loving, gentle and compassionate mothers just selflessly exhibit.
Sending your entire family my heartfelt condolences from across the many miles.
¦ We shall all celebrate together once again, this time forever, and in the presence of our loving and perfect Heavenly Father ¦

Mr. Wright and Allen, my sincerest sympathies to you both on Jeanette's passing. I enjoyed getting to know her during your "Sears" days, Allen; she was very gracious to houseguests, and she was a joy to teach alongside at WHCS. She was very supportive of all of our musical programs. We had many laughs together, and I know that my brother enjoyed teaching with her, too. God's peace be with you all in the days to come.
