Dear Overton's:
Ed was the most human of beings I have ever known. Even though I was only lucky enough to spend less than 2 years with your family - way back in the early 70's - we somehow managed to stay connected. During our times of reconnection, I found Ed had grown into a man of integrity - a loving father and devoted husband. My heart aches but I'm told it will heal even though a small hole will remain. Ed touched my life. All my love, memories and thoughts!

In the summer of 1968 on Hillcrest Road in Gulfport, Mississippi, a young Overton family rented a red brick house across from a young Newman family. My little sister Peggy and I played "catch" all summer it seemed with Eddie and his little sister Michael. It was a great summer. The 4 of us had impromptu picnics in neighboring wooded areas; Peggy and I ate peanut butter & banana sandwiches; Michael and Eddie ate pb&p (pickle!!!) sandwiches. We were so sorry to hear of Eddie's death. Van...

Dear Betsy and Boys:
I still remember Ed at Christian Center and his work with "MOVE". His loving attitude and extreme integrity will not be matched this side of Heaven. Ed always had a smile and encouraging word for me and my family. I remember him directing the boys group on Wednesday evenings when they built dog houses in my garage. Ed leaves a big hole to fill. Betsy, I am keeping you in my prayers. I am so sorry you lost your life mate, he was such a good guy. I can see him working...

Chris (and Family),
So sorry to hear of your father's sudden death. Our prayers are with you. Miss you! Jay and Lisa Craig

Al & Family--We are sorry to hear of your loss, our prays and thoughts are with you and the family.----------Bud Rice & Family
