CassieD Sm wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Family & friends of Mrs. Wheat, I was so saddened to hear about Mrs. Wheat's passing. She was my favorite teacher at O.H. Perry/Harold Washington elementary school, and I have such fond memories of her kindness and patience. (She went on to be my oldest child’s teacher too). I called her when my mom, Jean Pryor, (her colleague for many years), passed, and she was so supportive and came to the service. My deepest condolences. She will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Cassandra Pryor Smith”
