Dear Room, I love you for you were one of the most beautiful blooms in my garden of life: Your stem stood strong to 'weather the storms'; your colors remained brilliant no matter the 'clouds in the sky'; your petals resisted the 'high winds'; your thoughtful kindness and love of life 'nourished the soil' upon which you thrived. You will always be remembered as "Room or El" as you were affectionately known during our days at OSU sharing a room...Jan

I had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Ella Mae Wright several times at the Maple Heights Schools, where my son and her grandson, Mekhi attend. I remember her having a radiant smile and being a very stylist dresser. My prayers and deepest condolences go out to the Wright Family and friends.
