Its never easy to do. Goodbye for a trip...for the day...until months from now....until we meet again-in Heaven. Jean Purcell Overbeck--Great Grandma Jean-has begun her journey. Its the beginning of what will be her new life in Heaven. Her sons, Kevin, David & Mark Purcell are trying to deal with this new stage. Jean is a strong woman-she raised all 3 of her sons, alone, while working in the school cafeteria at Cardinal Pachili school. She will be reunited with her Mother whom she cared for until her death, her cats, and her true love-Frank X. Overbeck. She & Grandpa were cute together. 10 years went quickly for them, unfortunately. Jean lived next door to Grammie & Grandpa on Paxton dr. in Hyde Park. After Grammie died they started to spend more time together. It worked out well. She helped Grandpa pass on in November of 1995. He was unable to attend our wedding and we prayed for him at dinner at the reception.
She will spend her last days on earth at the New England club on Beechmont. Not a bad place-Uncle Drew and I went today to say our goodbyes until we meet Great Grandma Jean in Heaven some day. She is comfortable. Responded a bit to Drew's voice. God speed ahead Jean! Please pray for us after you get settled up there--we will see you soon! All of our love-
