I just wanted to express my appreciation for all the kind words and encouragement from everyone who left comments. My mother was indeed a beautiful woman both inside and out. She will truly be missed. She was a wonderful mother and a outstanding wife to my father. None of us could've created anyone better to help lead this family. We all hold out the hope to see her again one day. But,as for right now, we must all dwell in the beautiful memories. So, to each and everyone, including myself, let's all pick a few fond memories and hold them close to our hearts and allow them to make us smile and help us all hold back the well deserved tears we have all shed. My mother Genevia Wright will TRULY be missed!!!! Genievia's only son... Alvin

Dear Alvin,Stephanie, Melissa, Damont, and family. It is with deep sorrow and pain that I feel for the lost of our beloved Genevia. May Jehovah, our Great God of tender mercies and comfort, keep you and strengthen you during this most difficult time. (2 Cor 1:3,4). Reflect on the words of our Lord Jesus, who indicated, your wife, Alvin and Your mother, children, is just sleeping for now. (John 11:11,23-25) Jehovah and Jesus are both yearning to see her again, just like you are. Faithful Job said, Jehovah will call and she will answer. ( Job 14:14, 15) What a wonderful time that will be!!! So now, my brothers and sisters, may the support of our friends and the comfort from the scriptures raise you up. Your brother, Dexter.

Alvin, there is no words in any language that can truly describe how one feels when they lose a love one in death. Why? Because death was never a part of God's purpose for the human family. However may we all gain comfort in knowing that our Loving Creator, Jehovah God will one day remove this deep rooted feeling of pain and hurt, which is something that we will "never ever" get used to regardless of how many times we try to prepare ourselves. This is something that our Beloved; wife, mother, family and friends, Genevia, knew about and had faith in as well. So as for now...as she rest, free of pain, please continue to hold on to "every string of memory" you have of her and we will do likewise until we see that Beautiful Smile Again Of GENEVIA WRIGHT!!!! So we all can say, just as Jehovah said to his faithful servant Daniel at Daniels 12:13 " But as for you, go on to the end. You will rest, but you will stand up for your lot at the end of the days." Genevia Wright did do that....Faithful till the End! From the Parker Family, Alaska & Carolyn

Family, I am so deeply saddened. This past week has been so surreal, and it's hard to wrap my mind around our loss. Sister Wright has been a part of my life for as far back as my memory takes me. I will never forget any of our fond memories. She was definitely a real sister to my mother, and to me she was a wonderful aunt. She was a strong pillar of support for anything that our family went through, whether it was light-hearted, challenging, or a celebratory occasion. I appreciated all of her advice and the way she helped me reevaluate my perspective so that I could make well-thought out decisions. I will definitely miss her being the referee between my mother and me! I think she mostly took my side ;-) I will miss the laughs she gave us, the tears we shared, the hugs we exchanged, the comfort of knowing that we had a genuine friend in Genevia Wright. This too shall pass...and since we are living in the last seconds of the last minutes of these spiraling last days, I know that our exciting family reunion is just around the corner! (1 Timothy 3:1) I will be listening for her voice, looking for her smile, waiting for her jokes and her laughs. I know I will see Sister Wright again "in the resurrection on the last day." Right now, she is resting peacefully and in absolutely no pain. (John 11:11-14, 23, 24) Having that thought relieves my heart from the emotional heaviness and it allows me to look forward to our beautiful hope. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10; Acts 24:15; Revelation 21:4) See you soon in PARADISE in Jehovah's perfect and righteous new world! Love, Rachel Williams

Alvin, stephanie, Melissa, & DeMont; Joseph & JoJo; other dear family, and innumerable friends in Alabama, Georgia, and beyond: It us with heartfelt sadness that I share our loss at Genevia's passing. The genuineness of the love she showed each of us through the years is the epitome of the love Jesus asked us to demonstrate toward one another. Whether sitting on your front porch, in the family room, at a Tuskegee - Morehouse game, in service, or at our Christian meetings, Genevia kept us upbuilt, encouraged, and filled with laughter. Please be comforted becase we will see her soon ---that promise from Jehovah, is just around the corner. With fond memories, Rosalind (Porter) Ivy

To the Wright Family, I have known Geneva for so many years, she became such a good friend to me and she had much sincere love for all, and as you can see she touched many of hearts with joy. I would like to write something for the family: "Your dear mother and our loving friend is resting in a deep sleep, But the happy thoughts of her we will always keep. Her pain and suffering are no more, and even though death is life's closing door, the essence of her hope and love, she has left for all of us for ever more. Your hearts are heavy; your eyes are full of tears, you are wondering "How are we going to make it without her, for the rest of whatever years? You do know from your inner most feeling, and in your mind's eye you see, the promise hope from Jehovah of the resurrection of your family and friends, the joy and happiness of knowing she will be back in your arms again. Much Love "Linda DeJesus"
