Cynthia inspired all who had the opportunity and honor to work with her in addressing the needs of the students in DeKalb County. We loved our Spelman Sister and Soror of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. She will be greatly missed.

To Kim and Gerard,
I can't define how much I loved your mom! Surely when she was born, the mold was broken and there will never be another person like her! I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as my friend for more than 30 years! May your lifetime of love and fond memories of your mom sustain you...now and always!

I had the great pleasure of working with Mrs. Wright as a school social worker. I will always remember her energy and the unspoken message of her personal greeting, "All is well. All is well."

May God's peace surround and uplift the family in this season.
