  1. My Dear Aunt Opal, I’m saddened to hear that you’ve passed. I recall many summers visiting you and sharing family stories. I especially enjoyed those times when I could spend the night with you. We shared some great stories, had great food and laughter. Thanks so much for all your love and support, your enthusiasm, loving spirit and the fun times on my visits with you! May you rest in peace and know that you were loved. Your niece Kim Hansen.

  2. Sorry I didn’t find you sooner. I have waited all my life to find you. Love your truly, your lost but found daughter.

  3. Aunt Opal
    I spoke with your brother Arnold this morning, and he told me that you and your son Billy had both passed.
    Your sister, Pauline, and husband Jack both passed this same year too (2019) Pauline, on the day after her Birthday on March 5th, and Jack, on the 5th of July. i really do miss the family, and the many summer vacation trips to North Carolina.
    I am so very sorry that i am so late, but family memories are forever.
    Rest in HIS peace forever.
