I worked with Opal at the men and women's jails and quickly became good friends with her. There was no way you could not love her! Her kindness, caring, nurturing and non judgemental approach extended from her family to friends and to all her patients. She was valued by so many- the good guys and the bad! Inmates would always be asking " when is Opal working again"! My greatest compliment was being mistaken for Opal one day! However the young image was much disappointed when she discovered it wasn't Opal!!
I felt I knew all her family as she spoke so often about her kids and of course lots about those grandkids.
We are all so lucky to have had her as she touched so many.
She was a true Christian and I am sure she has a special place with God. I suspect she is already in his garden after she finishes being a thousand dainties!
Love you Opal and you will live on through our memories.
