Dave and I are so sorry that Opal had to leave so soon. Her wonderful memory and her vivid stories of the present and the past are treasures we'll always remember. Pure goodness and kindness is what she was. I never saw her in a bad mood or unhappy, despite her ailments.

Carol, Linda, Alan and all of her grandchildren - you were such...

I will miss seeing Opal across the aisle from me at 9:30 mass every Sunday. She was so sweet and kind and loved people. Her "greeters chair" at the side entrance will never be the same without her. I loved her and will miss her!!

My family and I were wondering about Opal. We missed seeing her the past two weeks at church. This morning it hurt my heart to hear of her passing. My prayers go out to Carol, her siblings and the grandchildren. Opal was very proud of her family. She talked about you all of the time.
It was such a blessing to greet alongside her every Sunday. She will be missed by so many.
God bless all of you. May you find warmth and comfort in your memories of her.
