Aunt Opal was one of a kind. She will forever be in our hearts. Family was important to her and she loved with such a great heart. I thank God she was ours for as long as we had her.

Opal was a good friend to my mother Charlie Fae Blackwood. Mother was her avon lady, and the precinct judge for all the elections where she and Opal lived. They were great friends. Opal was so nice to me when I lost my Mother. I pray God's peace on your family at this time. I know she and Mother are visiting now together again in heaven.God bless you all.
