When I heard the tragic news of Cedell's passing, all I could do was think back to the good times we had on IU's campus. Cedell lived in the dorm across the street from mine and we stayed in each other's room. I remember hiding and feeding him and his line brothers and giving out what little funds I had all for the men in Blue & White. Cedell and I loved to dance. So rest in peace Cedell and dance your heart out in heaven!! May God bless and strengthen the Wright family during this time.

God didn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow,
sun without rain,
but, He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears,
and light for the way.

To Conja and the Wright Family, I heard of Cydell's passing and although it's been since IU Bloomington that we've seen one another, I had to pause for a moment to let you know that I am praying for you and your family.....
Be Blessed
