Will truly miss uncle Wilson. We are so thankful for the joy he bought to our lives. We will continue to pray for our family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Mr. Wright was such a fine man, I was blessed to have known him. May God bless each of you. Marianna Smith
Mr. Wilson will be truly missed in the community, home and the Church. I remember him praying a prayer and it filled the air with a great spirit, then he song Jordan River, I am bound to cross, I got one more river to cross. He was a very well dressed man, no one could wear a pink silk suit like he wore one Sunday morning for service, he had all of our attention. Take your rest and enjoy sitting at the feet of Jesus with all of your Love ones gone on before you. I love you and I hope to meet up with you again. ?áRest in Peace Deacon Wright.
I worked at the Lyman post office from 1960 through 1985 as the city carrier who walked the streets of Lyman which included the address where Wilson and Ms. Wright raised their children. Wilson worked there as well. I am now an old man, but in all my years of observing working people, never have I met a more hard worker than Wilson. He and I had great respect for each other. I shall pray for the family in their loss, but do not cry for Wilson, I am sure he is better off now. May God bless and comfort you!!!!
Sorry for the loss of your love one; my heart goes out to you. Much love, Linda Rice-Boyd
We are so sorry for your loss. We were not aware of uncle Wilson's death and know he will be missed. We will keep you in prayer and pray that the Lord will give you strength and peace during your time of bereavement.
