Dear Overman Family,

We are so saddened by your sudden loss of Little Lee. For the many years we have known Lee he always showed his family the lighter side of many situations. It takes a strong man that can cater to many peoples needs and wants. And not to ask much back for himself. And somehow he always was able to make a person laugh at the hardest times in ones life. Lee will always be remembered as a high spirited person with a big heart. Lee craved the finner things in life and tried to share it with the people he cared about so they may also enjoy the finer things that life can bring. Lee took life on as if there was no tomarrow, to live each day to its fullest. This man was very passionate about his children and family. Lee also was a big sports fanatic and always encouraged children especially to play and learn to love the games of sportsmanship. For we know these past couple of years have been hard but no matter there was love in eachothers hearts. May the good Lord Bless his soul and lay his spirit to a peacefull rest. But in all of our hearts and memories Lee will be immortalized.

Dear Michael,Josh & Jinny,

I am so sorry for your loss. Lee was quite a character and I will always remember him. He had such a fun sense of humor and we would like to thank him for taking care of our sister all these years. He took very good care of you all as well, as much as he could. I had a lot of fun with that goofy guy when we would get together. I haven't seen Lee in about 10 years but it was nice to start talking on the phone with him this last few years and I was glad he was a member of our family. Jinny misses him so much, I don't know what she's going to do, hang in there Jinny. Lee will be waiting for you and watching over you guys like an angel. I still laugh at the time I told him I lived next door to Michael Jordan and he ran over to my house to see if it was true. Lee had many friends and could always make me feel comfortable no matter what happened. He loved Jinny so much and used to run miles to find her and be with her. May God Bless his soul...Thanks Lee, you were very good to my sister and I could always tell that you loved your boys and they were the light of your life. I miss you already and I love you.

Rest In Peace.....

I'll miss you forever and the day after...
