Opal was a nice person. She amazed me with her energy, even at her age! She was so sweet to crack a bunch of walnuts & give them to us for Christmas. I enjoyed hearing her tell of how things were when she was young - taking care of gardens & animals...& especially zooming down the hill, sledding down 500 N. She was so nice to welcome us in her home. I believe she is happier now, yet she sure will be missed.
