This week has been tough for many of our customers as they deal with Hurricane Sandy and the aftermath.
We are thinking of you all and pray that you and your families are okay. The image above represents all the areas our customers are in who may have been touched by this disaster, and we ask you to keep them in your prayers.
If there is anything the opal community can do to help – please let us know.
Finally, my favourite quote about bad times that always makes me smile;
“Everyone wants to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.”
― Oprah Winfrey
I hope you all have a party going on on your bus.
Regards
Justin and Ruth
