For all who know Basil, please remember her in your prayers.
There is a thread on FR posted by her daughter Pesto:
Dear Freepers
Basil, suffered a stroke in early January. It left her paralyzed on her right side and unable to speak. She's got very limited speech and her mental faculties are diminished. She spent many weeks in a therapeutic hospital but when it became apparent that her condition wouldn't improve, our family decided she'd be much happier at home. Hopefully we can minimize her suffering and keep her comfortable. Please pray for her, and Mr. Basil who is an amazing care giver and hasn't left her side.

If anyone else is interested in visiting her, please let me know and I will try to coordinate a time with her daughter.
For those who don't she is one of the original FReepers and a passionate defender of the 2nd Amendment with her work with

You may also notice she is the one pointing at the anarchist punk on the bike in my avatar photo.

I haven't lurked much at TOS lately, so I was unaware of her stroke. She will definitely be in my prayers!!

Prayers for Basil and prayers for her family this Mother's Day! :0001:

Prayers for basil and her family. Such sad news. I am glad she is home with her loved ones. She is a great lady and a solid conservative. I went to some marches with her when I lived in Austin. Her work with the Second Amendment Sisters is a wonderful legacy. God bless!

Sorry to see this. I remember her from the old, old FR days.

She always seemed to be around when called upon in the old days

H! Excuse my awkwardness on a new (to me) forum. Not a refugee (or spy-ha). Just want to reunite with my like-minded friends during this hot and sad political season.
Any update on basil? If you do go visit her, will you please tell her I'm also praying for and thinking of her? I would come too, but getting away is difficult right now.
-
Prayers up, for her and her husband, and her family. I remember her back in the day... not for a long while though.
If somebody has or starts a general Prayer Pinglist, put me on it plz.

Welcome. Basil is not having visitors right now.
-
Anyone sent flowers yet?
If she's pretty much confined, she might at least have something pretty to look at!
And while prayers are always both needed and welcome, the mind need some peace and joy too.

I e-mailed her daughter and told her to please let Basil know that a bunch of old freepers were praying for her. She responded that she had done so and that it made her smile!
That's a good thing!

I am glad she knows she is remembered fondly by her fellow Texan patriots. Prayers continue.

She is a good lady. I have shared a few words with her over the years at TOS.
Basil, you just keep your powder dry hon, our time will come. God Bless.

Read on FR that Basil passed away. I'm posting from my phone so can't insert the link.
Prayers up for her family.
