Wilhelmina was so kind to me when my mother and father would send me to Uncle Tillman and Aunt Kelly home during the summer. Those were some of the best memories I had because of you. Rest in peace and I love you.

So sad that you had to leave us. But God knows best. I remember when you came to Milwaukee, you would say it so cold here. Also you were one of the best babysitters we had, always smiling, and we are good ๐Ÿ˜Š. I will always remember when I came down south with you guys we were treated really well, when I came with my family you would take us around and always meet us for lunch or dinner. I will always remember your smile, loving and kind heart. Love you always Cousin ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’– RIP.

To the Family of Wilhelmina Hardy-Riley; As I think back to our days together in the Class of 1962, I am flooded with cherished memories of our time spent growing, learning, and making friendships that have stood the test of time. Those moments seem like only yesterday, and yet they hold a timeless quality, forever etched in my heart. I remember the excitement and optimism that filled the air as we prepared to graduate. Whether it was the laughter shared in the hallways, time spent cramming for exams, or the community events that brought us all together, each experience contributed to the bond we formed as classmates. Remember, Wilhelmina was the "best dressed girl at our Senior Prom (her parent could afford to purchase store bought dress). Now, looking back, I realize how truly special those years were and how they shaped us into the people we have become. It brings me joy to know that we were part of such a remarkable graduating class and such a changing time in history i.e. the Civil Rights Movement. I am so grateful for the memories we created together and the camaraderie we shared. Warm regards, Addie Mae Drake
