To all of you grieving the death of
John Opheim,
We cannot be there for you in person, and yet we do want to send
our thoughts and prayers to let you
know we care. Our good timememories were seeing John up at Pine Lake chatting with him.
Sharon's Mom and Dad, Greg and Sharon and family and Sharon's brother, Tim and his family came for a one night visit in August 2005. There was target practice,

Dear Opheim Cousins, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know this is a terribly sad and difficult time for you, but I hope that someday memories of simple things and happy times will bring you comfort.

John: So sorry to hear the news about your dad. He was always such a great person to me, and appreciated the time with him.

I was so sad to hear of John's passing, my son (Tom) and I knew John from his home at the cabin. We are friends of George and Michele Collova.
