I would like to send my condolences to the family of Mr. James Wright. I did not have the pleasure of meeting and speaking with him, although I am sure I would have enjoyed making his acquaintance. We are related through his grandfather, Julius Wright, who was my great grandmother's son. I have included her picture as an attachment.
I would love to speak with anyone in the family who is interested in sharing photos and stories.
Please contact me via my email:

Thank you...and again...I send my sincere sympathy on your loss.

Family & friends,
I did not know James but I was hoping to share some words of comfort. It's never easy to lose someone you love. God promises us that we will see our loved ones again in the very near future. Take comfort in knowing that you will see James again as well. Until then may your hearts be filled with the wonderful memories of joyful times spent together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Danny, Wanda, Bo, and Julie,
We know what a difficult time this is for you and your family because we feel the same way and it is hard to realize he is gone. Coon was my best friend growing up. He was like a brother to me. We enjoyed spending time together hunting and fishing and he could tell some tall tales about both. He could tell some funny jokes and keep you laughing. One of our fondest memories is when they came to visit us in Tennessee. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and we will surely miss him.
Our deepest sympathy,
Alfred & Etta Mae

Wright family:
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your father/grandfather. I only had the pleasure of knowing Coon for a couple short years, but I can truly say I never met a finer gentleman. Days at the hunt club won't be the same without his physical presence, but his legacy will live forever.
Rest in peace friend....you have earned it.

Sorry to hear about Coon's passing. We came down to Va. several times and I remember him always being friendly and making you feel at home. He always had me laughing with one of his jokes. Coon's wife Edith was my Mom's first cousin.
My prayers go out to your family during this difficult time.
