So sorry to hear about the passing of Opal Jean. She was one of my favorites. Her husband, Ches was my grandmothers (Claris Abbott Shepherd) brother. Until we meet again in Heaven.

Opal Jean and I were friends and neighbors growing up. We had some good times and I think about all the girls that were in our group often. May God bless you and your family at this time of sorrow.

Your mother was always helping or doing for others, that was what Opal Jean was all about! Our Mom (Violet Dick) loved her like a sister. Prayers for all of you. Diane & Garry Greer & Violet Dick family.
