Tracy Wright

To the Wright Family-
It was during sixth period lunch our freshman year at Pius that I told her "You should really get something for that cough" and she just looked at me and chuckled. It was the first ride to your house when Richard didn't realize I was coming with them and sped out of the parking lot (my left leg was dragging on the concrete and the door was open); she laughed until she was red in the face the whole ride home. It was her need to eat a rare hamburger and potatoes...

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wright,
I was so sorry to hear about Tracy passing away. Tracy and I were friends in highschool, and i can honestly say one of my most memorable moments with her was when Tracy, Amanda, Angela, and I went to 6 flags. We rode every ride at least twice and felt like we owned the park because no one else was there. We even sang a song and recorded it there. She touched so many people's hearts that it is incredible. We will all miss her, but know if there is anything you...

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Wright and Richard,
You have raised the most amazing girl I have ever met. I always admired the enormous amounts of strength and courage that she possessed. Tracy would often talk to me about her cystic fibrosis. She was never bitter about it, she accepted it and had a great sense of humor about it. I always thought it was so funny how she called her hospital visits "tune-ups" or "vacations."

The proudest memory I have of Tracy was of her getting a...

Dear Wrights,
I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through right now, but you should know just how much Tracy was loved. I first met Tracy in high school and never even knew she was sick until months after. She did not broadcast it and never expected any sympathy from anyone. My memories of her are wonderful and filled with stories of eating cheesesticks and french fries and chocolate chip cookies at multiple lunches a day. She never failed to make me laugh with her...

Dear Richard, Lori, & Richard III,
It has been 17 years since I stood in your kitchen in Cincinnati and you told me all about Tracy's disease and the fight she had ahead of her. I remember as if it were yesterday because I could not imagine what I would feel in your place. Not a year has passed that I have not thought of your family. Whenever Cystic Fibrosis was mentioned, she was forefront in my mind. I can only think that you have spent these years emphasizing...

Dear Lori, Richard and Richard III:
You all made Tracy's life the best it could possibly be. You brought her into a truly loving family, where there was laughter, honesty, respect, compassion, and happiness.
The greatest gift you could have given her, was hers every day of her life! You simply adored her, and she was assured of that love each moment of her life. And the gifts she gave each of you, you will have for a lifetime. God bless Tracy, and God bless each of you, until...

To Richard & Family,

May you all know that we share in your sorrow and are thinking of you at this time.
