My sincere condolences to the Chenault family. I'm so sorry for your loss. I knew Opal when I attended Reeb Ave. CCU sometime back. I remember Opal's kind spirit, and lovely smile that always said "Welcome"! She will be sadly missed by all. May the Lord comfort you during this difficult time.

I am another daughter of the late Rev Randolph Graham. I have spent many days and nights at the Hughes Home. Eureka and I have shared many wonderful times over the past years. Opal was a giant of the family. Always so reserved but she and "Pete" her late husband was always so much fun. To all the family we send our sympathy and love. Wish we could be their to support you but you certainly have our sympathy and prayers. Love all you guys.

I AM THE LATE REV RANDOLPH GRAHAM'S DAUGHTER, (KNOWN AS SUE) AND SPENT MANY SUNDAY DINNERS AT THE HUGHES HOME. ALL THE HUGHES DAUGHTERS WERE THERE WITH THEIR HUSBANDS &/OR FAMILY SO IT WAS A JOYIOUSLY LOUD & FUN TIME FOR ALL. WHILE BEING THE MATRIARC, OPEN WAS QUITE SOFT SPOKEN, (MORE LIKE HER MOTHER), AS FATHER, IKE, HAD AN AUTHORITIVE VOICE WHILE A GENTLE GIANT WHEN IT CAME TO HIS "GIRLS"... I WAS MORE THE AGE OF "ZELMA" AND WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH FOR HER TO CONTACT ME EITHER ON FACEBOOK OR EMAIL: [email protected]. I KNOW OPAL WILL BE FOREVER MISSED BUT SHE IS NOW BACK WITH HER LATE FAMILY OF MOTHER, FATHER AND SISTER BETTY. BLESSINGS TO THE ENTIRE FAMILY...
