Joseph Tully Wright

My sweet Tully, today is the last day that your guestbook will be kept online, thanks to your loving friend & "brother" Alan Pfau. He was so kind a little over a year ago to pay to keep your book going for so long. He and I have become pretty good friends. He's a great guy and you are blessed to be able to call him your friend.
I just wanted to say, again; how very, very, so very much I miss you and your presance in my life. I truly can not stand it. It is killing me.. and yet there is...

My Dearest Tully Bear,
It's been a year now darlin and the memories come in a flood for me. But the memories I hang on to are the good ones...your laugh, your voice, your playing the banjo, all kinds of things. You brought us all so much joy and love and in your own way, brought your family closer, and I will always remember that and love you more for it. You are so dearly loved and missed my sweetheart...but I know you are where you are supposed to be. It always makes me smile when I...

It's been a year ago today, since you were last close enough to touch. You followed me to get gas before I left that day. We hugged and cried like we always did when we had to leave eachother. You reassured me that it would be only for a couple of weeks... I got in the car to leave but something in your eyes was begging me to stay. I always wanted to stay... but it would be late before I got home so I started towards the interstate. I will never forget the last time I saw you. Your bluegrass...

Your birthday has come and gone and this year there was no need to wish you a happy one. You always said it was just another day anyways. Not to us left here. I know all of your times are happy ones now. That doesn't make it easier but it helps. Love you always, Sunshine

Gilbert,
Sandy and I were so sorry to hear of your Daddy's passing.
Please know we care and are here for you. Anytime you need a shoulder or just a friendly ear to listen, we are just a phone call awy or... better yet come on out and see us, no invite necessary.

Please give your mom and the rest of the family our condolences. Our prayers are with each of you.

You just lean on Jesus, He will see you through the difficult days ahead of you all.
Don't be sad your dad is...

Dear Tully,

As you know I am getting ready to go off to war. I know you will be there the whole way, you will be close to my heart, please protect me and watch over myself and family while I am away. I miss you alot and wish you were here. I love you brother forever and ever.

Sincerely
Alan

It is May 1, 2007. Tully has been gone from us for five months to the day. My heart aches for missing him today every bit as much as the day at work that I found out that he had taken his life and he was gone from us all. My life changed in an instant just as his did. My world as I knew it will never be the same.
I am still trying desperatly to come to terms with this very large hole in my heart, as I'm sure we all are. Just never thought I would bury my son at 25 years of age. This is a...

It's been almost 5 months since God has brought our angel back Home. I'm finding now that through the grief I am beginning to feel blessed for the gifts that Tully gave me during our short time together. I sat and thought of all of the things that he taught me that molded me into who I am today. Out of those thoughts came this:
I never knew that true love existed, that you could be healed by another's touch, that you could be in one's presence without a single word, walk away feeling...

For the first time in 4 years, this Valentine's Day is without you. I'm sure going to miss the wild daisys you picked for me every year. I have to smile when I think about how you would come through the door after work with pretty little white daisys in a water bottle with a bow tied out of bright orange marking tape you would use at work. You would have the biggest smile on your face because you knew how much I loved them. I miss you so much but love you more. You're with me all of my...
