Opal will be greatly missed! The greatest definition of a Christian is "giver." Jesus gave His life that we may have true life. Opal was a tremendous giver. She gave of her time, energy and resources in obedience to the Great Commandment. Though we are sad for our loss, we know one day we shall be reunited with our friend. My prayers are with Brother Roland and the family during this time of sorrow. Our lost, but heavens gain. John 14:1-6
