To the family and loved ones of Opal, I am so very sorry for your loss. I had not seen Opal for many years, but knew her and Harry when I was a small child almost 50 years ago and my dad worked with them both. Opal was very kind to my brother and I, and I still remember playing with their little dog "Stevie" when she babysat us. Rest in peace Opal, you will be dearly missed.

My condolences to your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I grew up on Lonsdale next to Opal and Harry and spent countless afternoons at their home, in the pool. She was a wonderful, caring person and may her memory be a blessing.
