I had tears as I pictured her wants and needs only to have them denied, What a strong spirit she had and she instilled the same strength in her own children. If only the world had a few more like Opal Virgina Lee France.It would make for a perfect world. <br />Thanks for sharing, Gen. Your story touched me deeply. Some day you and all her loved her will be sharing apple pies and coffee in the sweet by and by. I hope you invite to to visit your cloud. I'd love to share an apple pie with Miss Opal, her husband and her children.
