To: The Wright Family:

Words can not begin to express how I felt when I heard about Chester's accident at work on June 29th. Had I known earlier I would have been there with the family on the day of the accident. I Felt that close to Chester Wright. He referred to me as "classmate". There were not too many times that Chester Wright was near and we didn't literally holla at each other, like from a distance and then greeted each other with a small and a hug. He loved his wife (Barbara), his kids, his brothers, his sisters, family, coworkers, and his classmates. Chester Wright was a workaholic. He loved his job. We talked about his dusty money all the time. He thought I had dusty money but I knew he had dusty money. We talked about sports, accomplishments, upcoming class reunion, school days, and life in general. We sat under the tree, at the picnic table, and on the tailgate of his truck. We will miss his physical appearance but we know he will be right there. God has already opened up the windows of heaven and welcomed Chester Wright in with opened arms. There will be no tears in heaven and no crying in Glory. We know he does not have to suffer any more but the thought of him leaving has worked on me the most. When I arrived at that hospital and he couldn't talk to me was scary I had never experienced that. Knowing the memories will last forever will help. Time will heal all wounds and God does not put any more on us than we can bear. Please do not hesitate to call on us if you need us.
"CLASSMATE"

I got to take care of you now girl! Lol The only thing that changed was that you fussed more. But, With that fatherly love behind it.
