I want to forward a Gmail message from my daughter to text so I can send it out by SMS on my phone.

You can use Google Voice/Text service too, if you're in the US that would be free for you.
Go to Google Voice website, verify your phone number and get a Google number, then you can easily forward messages from your Gmail account to any phone.
It's very easy!
What's your carrier? Most have an email-to-SMS bridge. Verizon Wireless, for instance, uses {phonenumber}@vtext.com (e.g., 2128675309@vtext.com).
Here's a list for carriers in the U.S. but I don't know how up-to-date it is.
Further, many carriers have web forms to allow sending arbitrary text to any customer, so you could just copy-paste the message in the form. Verizon Wireless's is at http://www.vtext.com/. Check your carrier's website.
Either way, this isn't a Gmail-specific question; that just happens to be the email service being used.

Asker did not mention that he was using an Android, or even any smartphone.– aleOct 19, 2012 at 14:29
