To the family of Opal Booth.
My mother Margaret and I are so sorry for your loss. There are no words that can be written or said to ease your pain.
Opal will truly truly be missed by everyone who had the honor to know her as a friend.
She was one of the most caring and generous person I have ever met.She always worried more about the health and well being of her friends and family than she did herself.
There was'nt anything she would'nt do for her friends,If she was able to do it she would.
I know for me personally she has deeply touched my heart, And will forever have a place there.
Although we will all miss her very very much, She will never again have to suffer. Our Lord in heaven has brought her home to be with him. She will live forever in all of our hearts.
Our love and our prayers are with your family.

I had not seen Opal in a few years, but she was always there...she was at my graduation party,my wedding, and numerous other occasions.I always made sure she had updated photos of my children at her request. On Sunday nights when I would visit my Grandma(Fern), Opal always called to check on Grandma and tell her she loved her. She was a wonderful person who will be deeply missed.
