What can I say about a woman who lived life so graciously before us and had a smile that caused heaven to take notice?! A woman who could hug you so tight that it caused you, if only for a moment, to forget your problems. For such a woman I have no words besides, THANK YOU!
To the Wright/Ellick family, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. *1 Thessalonians 4:13-18*
