I have a very special place in my heart for Judge Gray. I would love to share with her family my story of how she has... and always will be an inspiration to me. I faced a long time in prison battling a drug addiction and several felony charges when I stood up in front of her that day a little over five years ago. I decided to put my faith in the system and Judge Gray... entering in a blind plea of guilty. I was at her mercy and I was terrified. I know she was a hard judge - but she was fair and stood for what was right. She saw through people who were not going to hold up to their end of the bargain - but gave chances to those who she truly believed were going to live it. If it weren't for her... I wouldn't have gone on to finish college at the University of Oklahoma and get a great job! I say it was her that gave me this opportunity but she sent me a graduation card that read "Thank you for letting me know of this great success. I may have played a small part in giving you an opportunity, but YOU made something of it!" She believed in me. I think about her daily and thank God for the second chance. I have been clean for six years now and love my life. Thank you Mrs. Gray for believing in me and allowing to persevere with a life of recovery. You were more than a judge. You were a truly admirable and great woman. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this time. Special prayers to your daughter as I can only imagine what it would be like to lose my best friend. May peace be with everyone who loves you. We will meet again... but next time in a beautiful place facing life.... eteral life.

Charlie, Danny and I are sad to learn of Twyla's death. She was an amazing leader and I know you and Sara were proud of her many accomplishments. I keep remembering what a wonderful cook and hostess she was. Sincerely, Gail and Danny McDonald

I knew Twyla as a state rep and had the privilege of working with her on a number of bills. She was one heck of a person!
