Sorry to hear about Louise. She had a long time on earth and touched many lives along the way. Though she will be missed it is time for celebration not remorse.
Bobbie, I am sorry to hear about Louise, but she certainly lived a nice long life and we know she is now with God and has joined once again with Winfrey, how wonderful is that. God bless you and I am sorry I can’t be there.

I extend my condolences to your family. Although I never met Mrs. Wright, I share the same name as her husband and I felt an emotional jolt when I read the obituary. I was named for my father, Carl Winfrey Wright, Sr., who was named for two earlier Winfreys in my family tree. Like my father, I was born and reared in Caroline County; I cannot help but think we are distantly related. Most of my immediate family died in the 1970s when I was in high school, so I have no way of checking for a familial connection. Regardless, I extend my sympathy to your family and apologize for the “odd” nature of this posting. –Regards, Winfrey Wright, Fredericksburg, VA, cwinfrey2@verizon.net
