"Kathy Crotti was always the loyal opposition, someone who truly cared about making government work. We may have been from different parties, but I always very much appreciated her presence when she was working with the legislature. I know she will be missed by all who knew and worked with her."

"Elsie Hillman was classy and caring, but didn’t suffer fools gladly. She represents what is best about the Republican party. Elsie was a good friend to my family, and my prayers are with her family in this sad time."
