    I had the the greatest joy and respect in knowing Mrs Opal, she was a true friend to me and in all the years that I knew her she would always hug me whenever I saw her. I will truly miss the smile on her face and the beautiful quilt work she did. She had talent for the smallest stiches of anyone I knew. Each quilt was done with love for her family members. I have one on my bed that she helped to quild and I treasure It more each day. I know that she will be missed but not forgotten by many . Thank You for sharing your mother with me.

    June, I’m sorry for your loss. I know that you do not recognize my name, however, every once in a while I think of people that I’ve known a long time ago and I try to find them on line. I do not know if your husband, Roger McCann, is the same
    Roger that I knew from Hazel Park, Michigan or not. If so, maybe we can get in touch. I also know that the Lord puts people on my mind when I’m to be praying for them, so I will do that now. It doesn’t matter if we know each other or not. “Lord, I lift up this family to you for your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding. I ask for your comfort and strength as they go through this difficult time together. I particularly pray for the one who is struggling the most with the death of their mother, grandmother, or grgrandmother. I thank you In His Name Amen.
