Condolences for the family of “Michael Wright”
Ms. Sharon, Terris and Seneca,
Although I did not have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Michael, I am deeply saddened with his passing. Seneca always spoke very highly of him, so I know that he was a good man. Keep all your memories close to your heart, and let God guide you through the difficult days and nights. May he now rest pain free and in peace.
Michael ( Mickey) as he was called, was a kind and generous person. A soldier hero in the Vietnam war. He flew a helicopter to save wounded soldiers. He was a father, husband and the youngest brother of my former wife. G. Hannah Dillard.
Hello Tom this is his daughter Tamika can you please please call me 8043806103
To the family of Michael, you have my deepest sympathy in your loss. Death is one of the most difficult situations we must face. At Revelation 21:4, God promises “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Titus 1:2 says “based on a hope of the everlasting life that God, who cannot lie, promised long ago.” May you find comfort in God’s word during this difficult time.
