You have my deepest sympathy. Mrs. Green was a truly kind and sweet lady. I have nothing but the fondest of memories growing up with her as a neighbor&especially her gingerbread cookies. I feel very lucky to have known her. She will be truly missed.

My great aunt opal was one of the kindest most generous women on earth. When my brothers and I would arrive with our mother for an unexpected visit she always welcomed up with open arms and a
warm laugh. There was always something good to eat and a glass of lemonade or iced tea. Her lemon meringue pie was the best in the world, and when we childen hadn't raided her strawberry beds she made super jam to go with toast and butter when the cold settled in during winter. Her less fortunate relatives could always count on Opal and Ezra when we needed to borrow a litle money or get new clothes to go to a funeral. I shall remember her always.Opal's meomory and my love for her will always be with me. oem and
