Oh, how very sad that Aunt Opal is gone. How terrible that we found out about her death via US Mail a week after the fact. We feel completely excluded, even though we know that Aunt Opal loved and cared for her sister Florence’s family. We will miss you Aunt Opal and my family will never forget you.
My mother, Beatrice Rice was first cousin to Opal and was sadden to read of her death. We send our prayers for your family. Love, June Dockery
It was very sad to hear about Aunt Opal passing and would have been nice if she could have seen her sister my Great Grandmother. She will always be loved and missed as she was a wonderful woman.
