Sorry to hear about the passing of your husband, dad and grandpa. I alway’s remember him mowing the graveyard at Mt. View. I would come to clean the church and when he took a break we would set on the steps and talk. I am sure he will be missed by everyone who knew him. Love and Prayers!
So sorry for your loss – prayers for the family.

My deep condolences goes out to the Wright family. The scripture at Rev 21:4 always helps to cheer me up and there it says that he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more. Jehovah promises this in the coming new world a paradise where there will be no more pain and suffering or death
To All the Family
