Dr. John Wright CORTNER

I have a funny story. Years ago when my youngest daughter Brooke was in Salpointe H. S. she complained that her right ankle/foot would make a cracking bone type of noise. John examined her foot/ankle and then asked her to walk bare footed in the hallway of his office. Brooke walked and then said when a small noise was heard did you hear? In a serious voice John said yes he heard it and you are going to have to live with it.

On the way home she asked me was that it and I said...

To Virgie and the Cortner family, our deepest sympathy. I always enjoyed seeing Wright and Virgie at church, but missed seeing them in their court side seats at the UA basketball games this year. On behalf of the Vance and Stanton families, we send our love and condolences.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is always so very hard to lose a loved one in death and our loving Heavenly Father is very aware and understand your painful loss. He will listen to your prayer and pay attention to your pleas for help because he is near to all those calling on him. He will hear your cry for help and give you comfort. Your family and friends have my deepest condolences. (Psalms 86:6-7)

Wright and my husband, Dick Toll spent many hours together at work-especially enjoying their expertise at Cripple Childrens Clinic and scuba diving in the Sea of Cortez.
Our trip on a riverboat in Russia was one of our last great adventures!
In my mind, they are in heaven doing a clinic for anyone that asks and swimming with sea turtles in their spare time.
I know you will miss him, Virgie, as I do Dick! Hugs and love to you and all your family.

Wright was a fun guy and a fine doctor. I send my condolences to Virgie and family.
