Ophelia was a good friend to my grandmother and took great care of her. She turned a job into a friendship and was certainly good at what she did. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this time of sorrow. May God give you peace and comfort as only He can.
Please accept my sincere condolences. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May the Heavenly Father enfold each of you in His loving arms and carry you through the days ahead. Sincerely, Carol Grifffis
