Not sure what to say?

Dear Wilhelm family,
Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your mother/grandmother.... She was such a beautiful, vibrant, fun and caring woman. She touched so many lives.
You all will be in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs and love, Deb and Mike Marino

Mrs. Wilhelm effected our daughters' lives. Both girls loved going to the studio and Nicole danced in college and is still taking dancing lessons today! Holly's daughter takes dancing in Charleston, S.C. , although the recitals for our granddaughter don't come close to the standard of Mrs. Wilhelm's recitals! Your mother gave us 12 years of wonderful memories.

We would like to extend our condolences on your mother's passing.

Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Bill and I send our condolences and wish we could be there for you. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sending love and condolences to the entire family. Rita left a lasting imprint on all she taught and touched. Blessed to have been one of her students and to have known her and her beautiful family! My best years were inside the studio. I will never forget Rita's voice I can still hear it she was the best! May this wonderful woman Rest In Peace and dance with the angels!!! Love from Ashley (Phillips) Barron

The Voelker family sends their condolences to the whole Wilhelm family on the death of Rita! Such an icon! Will always remember sitting in Lyndhust studio watching the girls, Kerry and Katie, dance. Our love to you all at this time. Diane Voelker

There are few people who defined my childhood like this woman. I am sad to see her go, but so thankful for the way she impacted my life. My "happy place" will forever be her studio doing combinations across the floor.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Lisa and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Rita was such a wonderful person. I will always remember her fondly. Ashley and Hannah were blessed to have her in their lives.
