Thank God for the gifts you shared with us. You sang and smiled your way home. I know heaven is a better place with you in it. I pray that your family and friends will feel the comfort that only God can give as they struggle to come to terms with losing their family member, friend, comrade and President.

To all of the Wright family, I worked with Melvin years ago, he was one of the kindest men to work with. I can see his smile and picture him in his green truck as I passed him many of evenings leaving APG, he was always smiling! My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this difficult time.
