Very sad to hear of the loss of Reverend Randy Wright. He was a great warrior for the kingdom of heaven. Always thinking of others, his reach was much further than his hometown of Guin, Al. I will cherish the memories of his hospitality during the time that I spent in Guin, Al., and also when we shared time together in Gastonia, N. C. During this most difficult time, my love and prayers are with Kathy, Rachel, Matthew, other family members and church family.
