A Time to Love: Mr. Ollin Wright loved his children with all his heart, but something about his grandchildren - he could never say “NO.” He was a great dad, son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.

Through this time, we have learned that this was the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad. (Psalm 1:18-24).”
