4. Tyler Perry’s Tribute to Josephine Wright
Sadly, Josephine Wright, the steadfast matriarch from Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, passed away recently. In response to her passing, Tyler Perry expressed his profound sorrow and commitment to honoring her legacy. He shared on social media:
“I am so heartbroken to hear about the passing of this warrior. Ms. Josephine Wright, even though we spoke by phone, I was so looking forward to meeting you in person next month to hand you the keys to your new house, but God had other plans. My prayer is that you rest in peace knowing that I will honor the commitment that I made to you. I know you will be watching over us all as I hand those same keys to your family. So your 4 children, 40 grandchildren, 50 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great-grandchildren will still be able to gather at YOUR house on YOUR land and tell the world what kind of fighter that you were. You have run your race and fought an incredible fight! Journey well my dear lady. You have inspired me.“
Perry’s words reflect the deep respect and admiration he held for Wright, whose resilience and determination in the face of adversity left an indelible mark on those who learned of her story.
