There's not enough time or room here to tell you all how much Opal meant to all of us Prather's. I don't know if I ever walked into the post office when she wasn't humming a good old hymn. It was just so natural to her, I guess. And we all know she's in good company now. I can picture all of them up there together, sitting at a table, playing 42 or 84. What fun they had way back when. And Opal's biscuits! I can remember eating them cold. I pray you're all comforted by the love and respect that everyone had for your mother. She was a great lady! We loved her dearly! Love, "Doodle"

I loved to visit Opal for two reasons: she always made me laugh with her stories and humor, and her faith in God encouraged me deeply.

I have wonderful memories of spending the summer of 1970 and 1971 with my Grandma Opal, and at that time, my Grandpa also. I was an eleven-twelve year old boy, and along with my older brother Shane, spent my time exploring Cotton Center every day but always making sure to be home for lunch and especially dinner, knowing there would be a feast prepared by Grandma Opal. She was a wonderful cook, and to this day, I believe her corn bread, made in a cast iron skillet, is the best I have ever eaten! Grandma Opal would sometimes let me help out in the post office, which was attached to her home, and I remember how she managed to work every day and still prepare three meals a day for us. Amazing! I was proud that my Grandma was the postmaster, and I'm certain that her example of a work ethic helped to form my own work ethic. She also tended a garden every summer, and was generous with the fruits and vegetable she grew, calling friends and family to come share. I loved eating the peaches, plums and cherries from her trees all summer! Sometimes it's the little things that stay with us, and I have fond memories of watching TV with Grandma Opal in the evenings after dinner, and the funny comments she would make about a show we were watching. She gave me complete freedom during those summers, made no judgements, never raised her voice, always had time to listen, invited me to join her on any excursions, and basically opened her life to me. I will never forget. Rest in peace Grandma Opal, and may you be at the side of the Lord for all eternity. Your grandson, Tracy Towns

Debbie, Ronald, Sis, Kenneth, and Bud. I have great picture memories in my head of all our times in Cotton Center. I loved your mother. She and I had some good times, when I visited her in Olton. She would call me by name and always asked about our family and I was always amazed at how much she remembered. Her kindness to me all my growing up years and later will not be forgotten. With sincere sympathy, Sandy Rae

Want to let all your family that I am feeling your loss. I have such good memories of Opal as I grew up. Memories of all you kids and things we did and things we got ourselves into. I know this is a sad time and also a great relief knowing where Opal is right now. She was a true Christian Lady and lived her life to the upmost the way she wanted. She was one of Momma's dearest friends and now they can continue that friendship in Heaven. All my Love to each one of you. Sue Ashby
