illness. My thoughts and prayers are with the family but I know that
they are all relieved that she is no longer suffering. Jeanne and I send our
deepest sympathy and regrets to the family of Jean Weaver Overman.
We were both NNHS Class of 1954 classmates of Jean's.
To the Family of Jean.
I will dearly miss my neighbor, she was a delightful and funny lady
during the times we had conversations. Jean and I began our
friendship and respect as neighbors after a snowfall. When we both
were cleaning our driveways and I assisted her. We both looked out
for each other and always had kind words to say. "Jean, you are with
all of those you dearly missed and those you left behind will dearly
miss you, until you greet them at the gate." Darryl Vaughan

Shall We Gather at the River
Shall we gather at the
river,
Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Chorus
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.
Chorus
Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.
Chorus
Soon we'll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
Chorus

To Stephanie and the entire Overman family, On behalf of my family
and my mom, as Ms. Jean always would say where is Bea, whom we had
the privilege of knowing as being a caregiver for her for over 4
years. Jean had become to be a part of us and she surely will be
missed and remembered. We have enjoyed so many treasured memories of
Ms. Jean. Stephanie and Allen, we know that you have been there thru
the thick and thin, but God said He will never put more on you than
you can bear, so continue to be faithful at what you always do, and
God will continue to bless and keep you. We send our prayers, love,
and support during this time of sadness, but if Jean was here she
would say, Don't cry for me, rejoice, there is no more pain no more
worry, no more sorrow; I'm going to a better place, a place where we
all are striving to get to, so be encouraged.
