I met Ms. Wilma at NHC while my mother, Violet Brissey, was there. They usually sat at the same table in the dining room until Ms. Wilma had a stroke. She was a very sweet lady - I enjoyed talking with her. My mother passed away on March 25th so I know the pain you are going through at this time. May God give you comfort in the coming days.

Wilma Kirkland had a significant influence on my life growing up in North Augusta. The last time I saw her was at my father's funeral in 2004. She was a wonderful person. I don't know if Mary Ann and Bo remember me, but I do express my deepest sympathies.

It's been decades since I've seen "Captain Kirk!" I will always remember her during our choir tour years at FBCNA. She is one of the one's who made a difference in my life during those formative years. Our church in Grand Island will be praying for your family during this time. We will see her again!
