I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God laidfor me. I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close ofday.
Ifmy parting has left a void,
Then fill it with rememberedjoy. A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss; Ah yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times ofsorrow I wish you the sunshine oftomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much; Goodfriends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all to brief; Don't lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

He leaves to mourn his passing a loving mother, Mrs. Georgia Ann Wright and one sister Ms . Tomeka Wright, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and other relatives and very very special friends .
MY THOUGHTS OF You
First born very protective. He grew up a strong man stayed smiling. And the first to say I'm bout to blow the pop sickle stand People on the outside looking in and will never understand our world only five years apart. When he spoke ofme you would think I'm a little girl. We wouldfuss andfight and be cool the next day like nothing happened between each other that was our special way. Everyone we knew would always say we look just alike. Now I picture him with his bandana on saying sis you right. I pray to God to give me strength so I can be at peace. I pray he give me just that cause only God knew the relationship between Tony and me. Our mother and Tony was the best of friends added me to the circle - then the three began. My only brother, his only sister - it was just us two. But now it'sjust me and Ann andyou know we will always love you to the end
