She was such a joy to hear and term limited herself.
Which is a darned shame. She had a lot to offer.
May she rest in peace. Prayers for her and her family.

Yes. Such a sudden thing too!
She was a lady in a day and age when ladies, in that sense, are definitely not the norm.

She retired from Congress after four terms, sticking with a pledge she had made when first elected to only serve four terms. When she retired, Fowler was the most powerful woman in Congress -- vice chairwoman of the House Republican Conference and fifth in the GOP hierarchy.May God rest her soul.

What a shame, she was a great representative for FL. I loved to listen to her speeches.
May God welcome her home. Good Job Tillie!
