I never called her Opal or even Mrs Hammons. I always called her mom. She was the mother of one of my closest friends Lynda. When I greeted her with "Hello Mom" she lit up. Her smile was contagious. She always reached out her arms to hug me. She collected frogs like me, and I thought that was just awesome. Silly kindred spirits we were. Her daughters Lynda and Karen sure did take good care of their mother in her last days. I admire them for their love and care of their precious mother. My heart goes out to them and all of the family at this time. I pray that you will be comforted with the knowledge that she is now dancing with the angels.
