I wish there was more time for me to say goodbye. Over the years you taught me so much. Watching you in action gave me hope for my life somehow. Your nieces that you loved and adored them all. I will miss being able to pick up the phone just to call you. Hearing your voice. Rest in Peace until we meet again

Terribly sorry to learn of Airickca's death. Deeply respect her for her strong convictions of justice for all. May the peace of God sustain this family as it tries to heal from its loss.

I remember the Emmett Till murder as if it were yesterday. Truly shocking to me as a eleven year old girl. Miss Airickca kept the cause alive. May God continue to be with the family and grant you peace and comfort.

It a shame a person have to fight from the day they were born to the day they die to live in this country all because of the color of their skin. When God created this world He did not created for a certain race of people. This woman worked for justice for her brother and for the future of all young people so they would have a better future. So sorry to hear about her passing my condolences to her family may she rest in peace.

I am so sorry about the loss of Airickca. Although I've never met her, I know she was a wonderful person without a doubt. I too am a cousin of Emmett on my father's side. The Gordon-Taylor family
has my deepest condolences. I pray that you will be surrounded continuously with love and support. And, as you go through this difficult time, may Almighty God give you everlasting comfort (2 Thess. 2:16).
