May the memories of your beloved Erness comfort you in this hour. I am deeply saddened by her passing. She was a childhood friend and fellow Girl Scout. We reconnected as adults and discovered many people we knew in common and worked together on a few projects. May the family treasure her memories and May the work she’s done speak for her and her loving kindness.

I love you Erness. We had good times all the times we spent together. I will miss you my wonderful friend. I'm glad I made you happy by including the chapter about your Dad, "Wright Speaks" in my book, Black Life In Old New Orleans. I miss you tremendously and I will always love you. Keith Weldon Medley
