I was in School at High Point with Opal, I think 5th or 6th Grade. I retired from the Electric Co, here over 20 years ago, I worked there 20 years, so I enjoyed seeing Opal thru the years, Loved her. I was called ('Syd) Jones, my sister worked at Walmart many years. (Stella Jones) she passed away 2008).

My Condolences to the family. I only met Opal a few times but I could tell she was a warm and loving person. I know she will be greatly missed. May you find some comfort in all of your fond memories of her
