It has been 5 yrs. since you, my dear friend, laid down your burdens.  I miss you, Doug!  We worked together for yrs. at TPS & I cannot recall one harsh word between us.  You were a great buddy & wonderful employee.  Seldom in life do we see such a loving heart and loyal gentleman.  You fiercely loved your family as well as your friends.  Thank you for the yrs. of being a great part of my life.  My goal is to see you on the shores of victory in that city where the Lamb is the light.

I love the Wright family . Doug Wright was like an uncle to me growing up he was my dad's best friend and always made time for his Teese as he called me will remember him with great fondness and love.

Doug, Margie, and Jeremy hold a special place in mine and my family's heart.  Doug was probably my dad, George Lay's best friend locally.  They worked 30 years or so together side by side at Braniff airlines.  Doug would "pop" in to see dad at any time at home and talk about current events and the good ole days at Brannif.  He was there when dad passed seven years ago and my deepest condolences go out to Margie, Jeremy and the rest of the family.  Mom said today that Doug and George are most likely in Heaven today hanging out together.

Mr. Wright was a good friend and employee when he worked with the State Department.  He kept in touch with the Mailroom after he retired.  God Bless you and your Family. We are so sorry for your loss, DDS Mailroom Staff

So sorry to hear about Doug.  Josh and I loved talking to him most recently at Carrick Glen and of course over the years through Scouts and church.  He was such a wonderful, kind hearted man and will defiinitely be missed.  My prayers go out to the family.

I always enjoyed caring for Doug over the years. He was never without a smile and a laugh, regardless of how he was feeling.  I will miss him.

A VERY GOOD FRIEND FOR OVER 50 YRS.WHO WORKED FOR BRANIFF WITH MY HUSBAND. WE LOVED DOUG SO MUCH, WITH MANY MANY GOOD TIMES TOGETHER. I WILL MISS HIS CALLS,HIS LAUGHTER.AND HIS KINDNESS.                                                DOROTHY HOOVER STROOP

Doug was a wonderful person and was very concerned about the state of our country. I talked with him, recently and enjoyed our phone visit so much. He will be missed by many.

He was a good friend.  He will be missed.

Doug was a very special man and I consider it a blessing to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with Marjorie, Jeremy and family.

We will miss you Uncle Doug!!! You touched so many hearts!!!

Mr. Wright always believed in doing good for others and even when he knew his days were passing, his heart was with Big Brothers of Mt. Juliet and the needs of our unfortunate. I feel privileged to have known him and will do my best to carry on his legacy of helping others in our community.

So sorry to hear you've passed but your singing with the angels in glory now. See ya soon friend.

SO sorry to hear of Coleman's passing.  He was one of my favorite uncles and created many wonderful childhood memories for me! He used to take me to the store and buy me comic books!  Margie, my prayers are with you!

We are so sorry "Uncle Coleman" has passed. We were aware of his illness but did not understand the severity. We so regret that we had not had an opportunity to visit him during his hospital/rehab stays. Our love and deepest sympathy to Margie, Jeremy, Jan & Boys. You all are certainly in our thoughts and prayers. We plan to see you on Wednesday and will be in touch again soon.
