Karen Wright

I have NEVER forgotten you, and Joe...Our Christmas Holiday Friends. Every time we go to Florida, in my mind I replay our complete time together. PRAISE GOD! Y'all truly impacted our lives...

I am still saddened by the loss of my dear sister and friend. Rest in peace my beloved, until we meet again. Continue to rest in the arms of the Father. Love Always Laura Charles

We met Joe and Karen during the Christmas holiday in Orlando, Florida in 2013. Our conversations were so in depth and enjoyable that it was like being reunited with long lost friends, for we automatically connected. They graciously accepted our invitation to Christmas dinner; it was as if we had known them all our lives. Karen, a true "sister-girl", did not meet strangers. It was obvious that they loved and supported each other. She is a light that will continue to shine brightly with love....

To Joe, Keith,Henry and Mr and Mrs Stradford,

Karen and I met 37 years at SC State and have been friends ever since. We just talked to wish each other Happy Birthday and the conversation was about retirement and the love of family. It was like no time had passed even though we live miles apart. Karen was a true friend and was my "buddy" and I am saddened and still in disbelief. Rest in peace, Karen and God be with us all to keep Karen close in our hearts forever, for life.

So saddened to hear of your loss Joe. May the Lord be with your family and uphold you during this dark time. God Bless and prayers be with you. Mack Ennis (SMO)

My condolences to the Stratford-Wright Family. Karen was a "Sweet/Great Person". She was so nice and was always willing to help on a professional and personal basis. May God Strengthen you as you mourn the loss of Karen. She will be missed

Joe and family, Please accept my condolences. Karen was a wonderful person, she will live on in our memories forever. May God's spirit give you strength during this time of bereavement.

With the deepest sorrow, I say a final good bye to a wonderful friend. May the Grace of God be with the family in their time of Grieving for their Beloved -- Karen.

My heart is heavy when I heard of Karen's passing. Karen was a jewel, precious, and radiant. Karen was smart, sharp, and the constant professional. Her last words to me on 15 May 2014 was "just say a little prayer and leave it to God". Always good advice. I miss you my friend and confidant. Joe (Family), May God keep you all during this difficult time of loss.
