I am so sorry to lose Opal but am thankful that I was able to visit with her this summer. She had the greatest sense of humor and always made me laugh. I can recall and laugh about things she said years after the fact.
One trip I made to Glasgow, Daddy (James) drove the sisters and me all around their “stomping grounds”. What a fun time. They told story after story about their childhood, which was precious to me. We all ended up at Opal’s for lunch. A wonderful time for me to remembe
You are in my prayers. Love, June Morrison Madison

I am sad to learn about Aunt Opal.
Living so far away did not allow me to know my Glasgow family the way I would have wanted , but that does not diminish my love for all my family. I miss everyone greatly and will always remember the great Christmas visits with Opal and Gatewood as well as all the other aunts, uncles, and cousins!
James and Ann,
We are so sorry for your loss. May God bless and comfort you at this time.
I met Mrs. Chambers about 20+ years ago when she made a bridesmaid dress for me, then about 12 years ago she made my wedding dress. She was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever had the privilege of meeting. Prayer going out to you all.
Darla, sorry to hear of your grand mother’s passing.

I still have the holly tree wjhich came from a sprout in her yard. I have enjoyed it for years and still think about the lovely lady who gave it to me.
