Chris, Roxann, Mark and Paul- I am so sorry to hear about your Mother. She was a great person and I feel honored to have known her. She was so good to everyone at Moffat School. She had a way with people that made everyone feel so special. I was so excited to see her when she and her husband came to South Mesa to do the Smokey the Bear Program. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. She was so proud of each and everyone one of you.

Twilla was a real inspriation to me growing up. In 1982 she transfered my high school records to a college in Oregon. She was a wonderful person and will be missed by all who loved her.

Twilla visited our home on a number of occasions following our church affiliation. A gentler and more loving soul we have never known. We loved her dearly.
Twilla was a special person she was the first resident I would see in the morning and the last resident I would kiss on the way out. She is greatly missed by the staff at the Villa. We will love her forever.
Rocky, I’m so sorry for your lose. Your Mom was such a sweet lady. I know you will miss her. She had a great smile. Love you guys!
Twilla will be missed by all. I remember the good times we had playing card in the motorhome. She was loved by all the grandkids, and I know that she will be remembered as Smokey Bear supporter.
Our heart and prayers go out to you. Twilla had such a caring heart she made us all feel loved, she will be missed greatly.
We Love you,
Dwan, Jay & Zakary Bramwell & Darla Mauch
Twilla had a beautiful heart and cared for everyone. Her and Dad had a great life together with all the love and faith a couple could have. She had a great sense of humor and we laughed a lot together talking of good old times. I will miss her like so many others will.
Twilla was such a special lady. She was warm, caring and kind to everyone! She helped so many. I, as a first year teacher would not have made it without her support and encouragement. Rest in peace dear lady.
Rocky and John, I was so sorry to hear of Twila”s passing. I feel that my life was enriched by knowing her. Karen
Dear Rocky, So sorry to read about your mother’s death. I didn’t know her very well, but I’m so glad I got to meet her. Anything I can do, please call. Love, Anna Marie
We were so fortunate to have Twilla join our family and share her life with our dear Uncle Ed. I have known few people as sweet as Twilla but there is no doubt she is in heaven and we will see her there.
As friends of Rocky and John, we adopted Twilla as “Mom” and I think she adopted us too. She was a great lady, with such dignity and grace. She will be missed and we are so very blessed to have such wonderful memories to cherish. You can see her special gifts in her children and grandchildren. They carry her legacy with them and they and we are better people for having her in our lives. Farewell sweet lady.
