Dear Donald, Norlene & Ed and family
Your mother will be remembered fondly by anyone that met her. She was a pillar of the community in the big village of Kirkton; everyone knew “Mrs. Wright”.
Your mother was always very patient while we counted out our pennies and sometimes nickels to buy pixie sticks, black balls, licorice and bubble gum. Sometimes I wonder if we even had enough money to pay for the candy, she was a generous and warm lady.
The picture you chose totally represents your mother: contented and loved with a huge smile, open arms and a kind heart.
Mothers are very special, she will be missed; may the fond memories keep her alive in our hearts. With sympathy, caring and love, Laurie Bibby
