Mr. Wright was greatly loved, and his legacy will be sustained by his daughters Cara Bess Austin and Nanette Lori Hill; son Westley James Drummond; sisters Amanda Phillips & Charlene Allen, whom was also his caregiver; several grandchildren and many nieces and nephews, especially Verne Wright who was always present to assist him.

John 14:1-3 is a Bible verse that reads "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
Grace & Peace
Rev. Dr. Lewis W. Macklin II, Pastor Holy Trinity Missionary Baptist Church
