"TREE??"

Shortly before her death, someone stopped in at the farm to discuss with Opal, the township wanting to plant a tree in her memory. The gentleman suggested maybe an oak? or a nice red maple?? "No" she responded "that seems a bit much...a nice Rose of Sharon would do nicely, I think". That was Opal....never asking much for herself and always thinking of doing for others. She thought a tree was too much of an expense and the money could be used more wisely to serve the community. Rose of Sharon is both inexpensive and has beautiful flowers.....what better tribute could anyone ask??
