I was having a difficult time when
Up came a notice for Dr. Char l especially
Wright, I was immediately uplifted, I spoke aloud giving thanks and blessings to me.

He was a kind and
considerate mam who truly cared about people. He
understood the heart of folks.

He is a memory that I will not forget.

today's society.

As a younger preacher in Stockbridge, Ga Bro. Wright was a great help to me when I started Liberty Baptist. He was a great preacher, great anbassador for Christ and a great friend. Heaven and hundreds of souls are his reward.

I just wanted the family to know how sorry I am for your loss. How we long for the time when God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven. What a wonderful time of reunion and happiness that will be.~Matthew 6:10
Until then, may God help you to stay strong and comfort one another.
