To: Mrs. Mabel C. Wright and the Entire Family :

I am offering my deepest sympathy in the loss of your love one. I have not had the pleasure of meeting your family in person but I have heard good things. I can remember on several occasions that I would be talking on the telephone to my "Other Mother", Mrs. Eatmon,
your neighbor, when I hear her yell "HEY MR. JOSEPH, HOW ARE YOU DOING? So, I made it a practice to ask her each time I called, how was Mr. Joseph. She would say...

Joseph my cousin you will be missed, I never thought when I saw you in September that was our last hug, I Love you. May Heaven receive your spirit and the Lord comfort your family.

We are sorry for your loss and we too will miss Joe as we were neighbors for years. He was always seened with a smile on his face. God does not make mistakes but he will wash our tears away.

Love, Shackleford Family

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
