Clarence Overson's Funeral
Today we attended services for our cousin, Clarence Overson at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Williston. Let us say, it was one of the most impressive and appropriate funeral services we have ever attended.
Along with his wife"Ginny", his five children and sixteen grandchildren spouses and family, all of the Lassey cousins and familes who live in the area, there were more than 350 people who attended, many of his co-workers at WISCO and friends whose lives he had touched thoughout the yeears. His family really appreciated having "Uncle Bill" there.
It was apparent that he had been an excellant father by the testimony of his children and grandchildren who loved him dearly. His daughter, Karen, gave a testimonial about how he had always loved all of them, and his grandchildren, and how he would always know the good people from the not so great ones when they were growing up. Mavis said she had always dearly loved Clarence because he was so good to her and played with her when she was small. He had made many friends in the oil patch, and many other friends in the years he had lived in Williston.
What a blessing it was that the cousins had all gathered for Dad's 95th Birthday Party a couple of weeks ago, Clarence was there and we all got to see him then.
