I am thankful & greatful for the real Mr.Wright, Dad & Grand Dad. He gave me a friend (Linda) that created children ( Jeremy & Ozzie Momma (Ms.Business)) shaing her family with mine. He was the most stable, reliable, dependable male role model I know & will be truly missed. Stay strong family. 1 Love
