Gregory Wright wrote a sympathy message

“Oh, how I loved you my dear sister. More than once you were my port from a raging ocean. During times in my life when I felt hopeless and alone you were there. What you and Kenneth did for me allowed me to become a self sufficient adult with a sprawling family. I could never come to terms with how to repay your kindness. I realize now that just my happiness was your reward in and by itself. You insisted on carrying burdens that you never gave yourself the grace to let go. Rest easy-all is well.”
