To Dick and the entire Wright family, please receive condolences from John Moore and the Moore family. Maureen and Dick have been close friends to my father John for many years at Shell Point. I personally had the chance to share a few meals with them but know them mostly by the warm stories dad has shared with me. In person and in those stories the brilliant love shared between Maureen and Dick shone through brightly always. May the love of Christ bless you all in these moments and may that incredible familial love be a source of warmth and strength to you now and always. God bless - John Moore on behalf of myself and for my father John.
