I was saddened to hear of Twilia's passing. My thoughts are with family members as you celebrate her remarkable life. She made a lasting impression on our son Ryan just before he left for college at Central Missouri State on the importance of education. I cherish the memories of her at family reunions with Uncle John.

Twilia was my classmate in THS class of '55. I was always happy to see her and visiting with her when she could come back to our annual luncheon reunions. Was surprised to find she had returned to Trenton. Enjoyed seeing her briefly in November and she still had that special smile. My sympathy to all of the family.

Twilia was such a delightful person. As I recall, her sister Eve introduced her to John Knosby. She was a great compliment to the Knosby family after the death of Mary. My connection was through John who I respected greatly and who advised me in business dealings. John and Tom, I wish upon you all the best. May Twilia rest in peace.

We were so shocked to hear about our dear Twilia. She was a member of our class at Tapp United Church. Our church will dearly miss her and our Class will really miss her. She always added so much to our lesson. A dear Lady. Our prayers are with your whole Family.

Ms Twila was a dear lady. I loved to hear her stories of when she was a little girl and about farming. She had a twinkle in her eyes and a beautiful smile. She had a love for animals.
She also spoke of her love for her family. Heaven has a precious angel.

Dora and I are so grateful for becoming friends with Twyla. We became very close friends and her passing is a significant loss to us. Her absence is very noticeable in our lives. It will be difficult to fill if we can ever do that. Realize that we are from New Boston, TX and only knew her for a few years but she took us into her heart as we did her into ours. There was just a special spirit we both shared. So we sadly we say Good By Dear Friend! We know you are in the loving hands of our God. Love You Forever, Dora & Jim Barling
