"DIONNE IS IN HEAVEN WITH OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST"Dionne Bernice Wright was born to Diane Lois Cephas and Don A. Wright on August 4,1983 at Einstein Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. My beautiful baby Dionne was born with a head full of beautiful healthy hair. She had so much hair that I decided to enter Dionne in a baby contest at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. And Dionne won for the most hair. People would always give Dionne so many compliments about her hair. They would say," your hair is so beautiful and so are you". I myself being Dionne's mother also thought that she was very beautiful with a head full of beautiful healthy hair. I remember one day when Dionne and our family were going out for dinner. Dionne was a teenager, our little neighbor across the street he must have been five years old, when he seen Dionne with all her hair out he said, "Wow" what are you some kind of super model or something". We all laughed. I remember when Dionne was a little girl, sometimes my mother had to get on one side to wash her hair, and I had to get on the other side.Dionne was a very loving, caring, kind, hard working beautiful woman who was a mother, daughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend.

Dionne received her Bachelor's Degree in Marketing from Fox School of Business at Temple University in 2005, and she graduated with honors.

She achieved so much, and made so many accomplishments in her life at a early age.

Dionne was also one of the students that was honored for her achievement by The Urban League of Philadelphia and their local partners to publicly recognize youth who had demonstrated a sincere commitment to achievement in academics performing arts and community service. We were so very proud of Dionne.Dionne was my inspiration, she was my beautiful Angel on earth. Now she is my beautiful Angel in HEAVEN. Dionne, came to know the LORD JESUS CHRIST AND ACCEPTED HIM AS HER PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR, and Dionne and I was baptized together at Impacting Your World Christian Center. Dionne loved the Lord very much. Three of her favorite songs were "I LOVE THE LORD', 'PRECIOUS LORD' AND 'TOTAL PRAISE'. Dionne and I was blessed that she was able to attend a private school starting out early in her education and to attend a Christian High School. I remember when Dionne first started High School, Dionne and I enjoyed going to High Impact on Fridays at the church, where all the teenagers came together with Pastor Ray to receive the word of God, to sing, praise and to worship. Dionne loved listening to my Pastor, Bishop John bring forth the word of God on Sundays. She also loved listening to Pastor Ray on Sundays.During the time that I was with my beautiful daughter in the ICU, I kept on praying to Jesus that the Lord would heal Dionne. Alex, Sean, Steve, Brittany and Ralph, everyone was praying. I played worshiping music throughout the day, I played RAISE A HALLELUJAH, THE BLESSING, AND WE LIFT YOU HIGH. One thing that three people have told me, is that no matter how hard you pray, the Lord is with that individual and gives that person a choice, to stay or come home. Dionne was in the presence of the LORD HIMSELF, and " He let Dionne choose whether she wanted to go back to earth or come home to HEAVEN". As God's word tells us " in the Lord's presence, there is "fullness of JOY". Even in his presence, Dionne experienced what TOTAL JOY felt like; a joy that this world could never give her or anyone else. Dionne chose to stay and remain in his awesome JOY; and I believe with all my heart that the Lord told Dionne that He will be returning soon for the rest of us who believe and she knew she would see us again.The day that Dionne went to HEAVEN, I was in the room with Dionne, Alex, Brittany, the nurses and doctors. When I turned around and looked at my beautiful daughter Dionne, she had the biggest smile on her face, there was a light shining directly on Dionne's face and a beautiful glow. At first, I thought that the sun was shining on Dionne's face. When I think about everything that has happened, There were no windows in Dionne's room, she was in the ICU. My son and his Dad said, that was right then when the presence of GOD was receiving Dionne into HEAVEN. The way that my beautiful daughter was smiling , like to say. I am safe in HEAVEN and I am finally at PEACE. Dionne looked so happy, so beautiful, so peaceful. From that beautiful smile on Dionne's face, she was very much in HEAVEN and at PEACE, WITH JOY FROM THE LORD. No one witness Dionne's beautiful smile, the light and the beautiful glow. I was the only one that had witness the smile, glow and the light. The presence of the LORD was there for a while with Dionne. To be there and witness it was one of the greatest blessing in my life. And I thank GOD for it. I will never ever forget this as long as I live.My son Sean prayed and asked the Lord about Dionne if he would please let him see what Dionne was seeing, so we could have comfort. And the Lord honored Sean's request. In this vision Sean had, he seen the Lord, he did not see the Lord's face, but he knew that was the Lord, by his hands and his white robe. And he seen Dionne in a white gown. And Dionne and the Lord were hugging each other. He seen Dionne's face, she was smiling, plenty of joy, happiness and at peace. And Steve prayed that morning that the Lord would give me a sign about Dionne. I have received so many confirmations about Dionne being with our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. When my brother Ralph prayed and touched Dionne he felt a sensation a couple of times. I also felt the same thing when I prayed and touched Dionne. That sensation was the HOLY SPIRIT.Dionne enjoyed doing hair. Dionne was my hairdresser and always did such a beautiful job, I used to get so many nice compliments about my hair. She was also her son's barber and stylist. Dionne's memories, love and legacy will always be in my heart every second of my life, her son Alex, her sister Brittany, her brother Sean, Steve and family and friends.I THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR GIVING ME SO MANY CONFIRMATIONS THAT MY DAUGHTER DIONNE IS WITH YOU IN HEAVEN.
