I have enjoyed living back door to back door for the past 20 years. Every interaction has been gracious and lovely. What amazing memories the family must have to hold dear at this time. Melinda Heath Brents

Opal was a very sweet person. Although I was a Junior girl, I often went downstairs because she was in the suite with my first cousin, Ramona Cavness. I roomed with her sister, Ann, and her sister, Jean, was my suite mate and also a class mate. I was so pleased to see both Ann and Opal at the 100 Anniversary of the Academy and I also met one of Opal's sons. I felt a real bond with these three Richardson girls during my years at the SMBA.
Wishing you peace and comfort at this most difficult time.

Bobby and Maureen, I am so sorry for your loss. Cindy and I have both lost our parents, and do miss them so much. I can't tell you how great it was to see you 2 and everybody else at Mamacita's several months ago. I am now working in Saudi Arabia again. Bobby, I was told you wanted my email address so we could keep in touch- here it is [email protected] - We will try to get together on my next R&R. Again, condolences from Cindy and I.

I was a stranger to Opal, she welcomed me into her home, she fed me and made me feel wanted. A true act of love and kindness. Anita Murz (Perth, Australia)

Aunt Opal was a loving person who cared about so many people. She had an infinite sized heart and made all people around her comfortable and loved. She saw the good in life, and walked the high road in how she lived her life. She was the sunshine for those around her, and she was and will be a great role model for anyone who wants to live life as a caring, moral and fun-loving person who made the world a better place. She will be sorely missed.

Opal
Always had a smile on her face and love in her eyes and a peace about her. She is a treasure. And a beautiful lady. Praying for everyone here for the peace that only God can bring. Opal is healed and in the presence of God...
