See you on the other side, Opal.
Oh, I remember the self portrait. I remember browsing through her website and warming my eyes on her work the way you’d warm your hands at a campfire. For several of the pieces, she showed the multiple stages it had gone through, which was a very sharing thing to do.
Too young to go. Best thoughts to her family and friends.
Rest in Peace Opal.
RIP, Opal.
I haven’t posted in years, but I truly hope she finds the peaceful joy in the afterlife that she couldn’t find in this life. My deepest sympathies to her family.
She showed up once at a Dopefest at my house.
Juggled in my living room while Dominic watched cartoons in my den.
She was beautiful and special.
We have a Dopefest in Cleveland coming up, I will have a toast to her memory, she will not be forgotten.
She will be missed.
How very sad. Terrible news to have to share.
Well the internet seems a little empty today. Bye Opal.
- Such sad news.
- RIP, Opal.
Be at peace Opal.
“Only the good die young”
I should know better than to read this at work. {Sniff}
Yeah. ^this.
RIP OpalCat. You will be missed.
My condolences to her friends and family and to all of us here at the Dope.
Rip, Opal. :< Long live your legacy.
So sad. Though I never interacted with her, she has always been an institution here on the SDMB. I would occasionally visit her LJ; it was obvious she was an extremely talented and passionate person. She will be missed.
RIP, Opal.
Heartbreaking. Met Opal a bunch of times; she, my husband and I went to a great Pink Floyd cover band here in Baltimore. I remember after we moved away to Florida and my mother died, watching her discover herself as an artist and being so inspired by how she was turning her life over. I really don’t have the words & my deepest sympathies go out to her family, especially Dominic.
Oh, dear! This is too sad.
Ya know, I still don’t want to think she’s gone… Nonono…
This news has ruined my day.
