I wasn't able to be there on Thursday but I know Wilma knew I was there in spirit. Aunt Wilma I love you and will come see you real soon and we can talk about my new grandson Lucas and Precious(Vaughn). When June and I were there last we had a good gab session and we will always remember the good times we had on the Ridge Road. Wilma say hi to Mom and Dad and make sure you tell them we miss them. Jeff and Jeffrey were sorry they couldn't be there but their prayers are with Aunt Wilma and Dottie and will miss Wilma and all her stories. Love always

I met Wilma when we were both kids working on Sansom Street and have stayed close friends ever since. There are not many people like Wilma who visit this world. I will miss her dearly.

I have Wilma to thank for my wonderful family. I don’t know where I would be today if she didn’t introduce me to my husband. We had so much fun planning and plotting on how we could get him to ask me out. Painting my beauty shop was brilliant. We have not been in contact since she moved away from the Northeast, but Wilma was never forgotten. She will always be a very special friend.

I will always remember Wilma for all the support and love she gave me so many years ago. The last time I saw her (just a few months ago) she was smiling and telling her stories. I for one will miss her deeply. Say hello to Jim for me.

"Wilmee" - I will cherish the memories of our fun times together laughing and gabbing about everything and anything. And I know I will never bake a chocolate chip cookie again without thinking of you! We "Midgets" will miss you dearly.

My memories of all the Tierney girls, there are soo many, we were always together, they were more like sisters to us Briley girls. I will never forget being with Wilma as a young girl then later in life working on Jewelers row together. I haven't seen any one in many years but I will never forget her.

I have fond memories of Willie, going to A.Wima's house when I was little and Willie always letting us play in her room, but she always made sure she tell us, don't touch anything, and of course we always did, she never really got mad. I will miss her and cherrish my memories.

Wilma was the best friend and cousin anyone could have had, we shared many things together in our early lives. Unfortunately I have not been in contact with her for a few years. It was this past thursday night that My Mom and sister Jacki just talked about calling her and setting up a date with her and Aunt Wilma to go out and visit them. Unfortunately we are to late. I will never forget what a great friend and cousin she was too me. I will miss her dearly.
