    Dear Dr. David Wright, Pastor Mark Wright & Wife Laurel, and Entire Family, I would like to give you my deepest sympathy, prayers, and apologies for not being able to come to the viewing and funeral of your wonderful and lovely wife, mother, Grandmother or cherish fellow congregation member because my great sister Caroline had a medical emergency with first and second degree burns to her feet 😳 in an attempt to get a fire out on her garage wall! You ❤ all are awesome family and Mrs Barbara Wright was awesome Christian women 😀 leader of your family 👪 💙! I didn't know her maiden name was Stewart because I went over to Scotland on bicycle and visited other places in Scotland via train 😀! I got a work friend's wife Stewart Tartan blanket which I carried on bicycle while touring the lowlands of Scotland where 🤔 the famous Stewart and my family ancestors residence was located. I hope you know Barbara was loved at two churches both our family's attended for many years and wish you God many blessings and prayers in the future 🙏 ❤ Caroline, Tim, and my Mom Trudy in heaven with Barbara!!!
