Twila was a mother to many and a friend to all. Her greatest joy was her family, and she gave her honesty, patience, and love freely to everyone she met.

“You can shed tears that she is gone,Or you can smile because she has lived.You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back,Or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,Or you can be full of the love you shared.You can remember her and only that she’s gone,Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.”

Final Arrangements were Lovingly Entrusted to Southern Cremation and Burial Services of Murphysboro, Illinois.
