My siblings and I grew up under Mrs. ophelia, that was back in the day when the village raised the children and I myself I'm so grateful for her influence in my life and I beleive we all benefited in some way for having her in our lives.
Mrs. Ophelia was a special kind of spirit that walked this earth, and everyone who had an opportunity to meet her was all the better for it. The Riverview Family and many others have lost a great warrior that will not soon be forgotten. We pray that God continues to bless the family as we all knew how much she loved. Family take care of yourselves and each other and in that you honor her. Rest in Peace Mrs. Ophelia, we loved you but God loves you best. p.s. Give Daddy and Madea a big hug for us.
