Although Mrs. Wilkinson was my teacher over 24 years ago, she had (and continues to have) a tremendous impact on my life. She was the model of what a teacher should be: supportive, kind, and she showed us grace when we most needed it. Inside and outside of the classroom, it was always a joy to run into her and talk with her. To everyone in her family, I am so sorry for your loss. She was a tremendous woman. Thank you very much for sharing her with all of us who went to Holy Trinity for so many years: we are better for the time we shared with her. God bless you and thank you, Mrs. Wilkinson.
