I have known Opal for some ten years and thank the Lord for the opportunity to know and love her. She was a faithful attendee at our Friday Bible Study and while she often appeared to be asleep, she knew the answers to our questions and was a precious saint of the Lord. I know we will see her again in Heaven. She indeed was an "opal", a beautiful treasure among our Bible Study Fellowship friends. We will miss her.

I knew Opal as friend and part of our Friday Bible Study at Azalea Trace. She was always lovely, gracious, kind, and appreciative when we would visit in her room and take her to the Bible Study. I will miss stopping by her room to check on her this Friday. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with Opal's family during this time.
