Tim, my dad and dad loved your mother
My father had special feelings for her and got her back into the work stream. Your mom was so much of an Overdorf that you couldn’t tell she was not born into the family. She never met s stranger. I’m sure after 26 years she and your dad are finally back together the way it should be. She was a very Loveable mom I’m sure. Remember the great things she did for you and your siblings. God bless the Overdorf Family.
Luanne always had a smile on her face when we worked at Tipton Middle School. She was always willing to help when I would drop in with a financial question.
Luanne was such a sweet lady. She and her family were neighbors to my family when we lived in the country. Sending prayers to her family during this difficult time.
Such a kind, sweet lady – prayers of peace and comfort for her family and friends

What a lovely lady who always had a sweet smile and a kind, soft word. Thinking of you Brian, Tim, and Chris, and of course the whole family as well. May she be rejoicing in reuniting with those she loved but lost, before it was her time to go. Prayers for all.
