May God's grace bring strength, comfort, and healing in this time of sorrow. Teon was my classmate from 7th grade through high school graduation from Jenkins High School in Savannah, Georgia. I can unequivocally, that Teon was one of the best human being to ever walk the face of the earth! A kind soul and dedicated himself to every endeavor he committed himself to without exception. The very fiber of my being is numb by the news of his passing and I know that I am not alone. I shall strive to more like my brother & MSGT Teon Wright!

In hopes that you may find some comfort with this thought, I share with you my belief that Teon is now in a place where time moves much differently than here on earth. In what will feel like years and decades to us, Teon will experience as mere seconds before he is reunited with all his loved ones as they too are called home. As you grieve his loss and honor his memory, please know that he suffers no more and hold on until the time comes when you are reunited. Rest in Peace Teon, and Thank You for your service.

From Despair To Dancing

Sometimes our circumstances and the hurts of life can leave us breathlessly grieving or in overwhelming pain. We've hit the wall; there's no way out. Hope vanishes into thin air. It is just at that moment God comes through, and in his mercy and grace turns our tears into laughter and sobs into song. Only God can do that.

Prayer: Thank you heavenly Father, that you know my days of despair - and care. Help me to share the experience of the psalmist and see you turn my tears into joy. I declare my confidence and trust is in you. I may not be able to see the clouds' 'silver lining' today, but I know you can do great things beyond what I can feel today. Help me, dear Lord. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
