Dear Hope and Paige and Boys,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your Mom will be greatly missed. I want you to know during your moms passing ceremonies my Mother was in the trauma unit at UT hospital. I just could't leave her. I love you girls, and If I can do anything to help you get through this I will. Again I'm so sorry for your loss. Love, Phyllis B.

Dear Family, I worked with Gail at Norris Health and Rehab. She was very kind and helpful to me during our time there. She made it very clear that she loved her family above all and then she loved politics. She will be missed in so many ways. My own little world seems lonlier knowing she has left the planet. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

She loved well and was well loved. I just saw a 'time hop' on my Facebook describing a time when we went to dinner, just the two of us- at the Flat Water Grill. We had such a good time, and it will forever be in my memory! To a dear Aunt that loved me unconditionally... I so wanted you to get to meet my grand daughter- because I knew you would remember how much she was like a mini-me! You're in our hearts forever! Just wished we would have had more time....
