We will miss Mrs. Wright. Her warm smile; her enthusiasm for good books; her joy at watching children grow through reading; her pride in the library at Holy Spirit (best children's library ever!!)! She instilled in my children a love of reading they will carry with them always.



Well done, thou good and faithful servant!

Pat was the best to mess with everyday. I loved picking on her because she would throw it right back at me. She had amazing strength and compassion that I always admired and appreciated. I truly loved Pat Wright and HSES was blessed to have had her.

We were fortunate enough to live next door to the Wright's for the past 5 years, and develop a friendship. Pat was a pleasure to speak to everyday. Pat usually had an amusing comment and a genunine spark in her eye. Pat was a delight to know. She truly will be missed. Our prayers are with Tom, Traci, and Shea and extend to the whole family.
