To The Wright Family: I was deeply saddened to learn of Wilbert's Transition. You have my deepest heartfelt Sympathy for your loss. When we were at T. W. Josey; we had so much fun and laughter with "Blade" back then. Wilbert was a very sharp dresser and had a keen sense of humor. He was one who always had something funny to say about everything ! I look back on these memories as The good old days. Wilbert was a nice person and will be missed by all who knew and loved him. I pray that God's presence will be your Peace. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. May God strengthen and richly Bless you. " Weeping May endure for a night.....but Joy cometh in the morning !" Rest in everlasting Peace my Friend, Henrietta Cooper (Law) Avery * Classmate from Josey High School 1969 [[email protected]]
