The Craighead family extends our sympathy to Ola's family. Ola and our mother, Reba Craighead, were room mates at Valley Health Care Center several years ago. Their friendship extended over Mom's entire time at Valley until she passed away May 12th of this year. We all had the pleasure of knowing Ola and appreciating her humor and loving manner. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.
