Dear Jim, I cried a river. Cass called me Thursday morning before her trip to Nova Scotia and you know….I am so grateful I got to see you at Bill’s memorial picnic. I have known you as long as I have been in the rooms and appreciated all the kindnesses that you have shown to me. I know you were troubled…but who amongst us isn’t. I wish you peace. Merna, I love you….Bless….Leslie

The Morgan Family,
Jim had the best heart of any human being I have ever had the honor to know and love. I love Jim still. Just this morning a lovely memory came to me. Jim was making me breakfast one morning and I saw him put my orange juice in the freezer. I asked him why he did that and he said because he saw me put my orange juice in the freezer. I had no idea he watched me so closely. It is a testament to his good heart that he would do something so simple but oh so important for another person.
I am feeling his loss. I can’t stop crying. I can’t imagine your loss.
My prayers are with you.

Merna & Family,
It breaks my heart that Jim is gone. with a big hug and smile he told me that he would step in and be my little brother when mine died in 1991. He had a huge heart with lots of love and kindness.
Take good care of each other and this is what was said to me when I lost my Dad.
“we are spiritual beings having a human experience…when we die our spirit will live on” and that has helped me get through the tough days.
Love to all, Rosemary
Cass Beaman says
I am still in shock and crying…Oh Jim you know I loved you …you always had a smile and some comment for me about what I should be doing to take care of my car. When your mom broke her wrist and I brought over dinner to cook one night I asked how you were and you said you would be a whole lot better if people would just stop coming by and leave you alone. I said fine…no dinner for you. You loved your ice cream and root beer floats…so did I. You called me day after day when Bill passed over just to make sure I was doing okay. You were my friend and little brother. And oh how I love your mom. She looks so tiny now and her heart is broken….you were her baby. The little boy she carried under her heart for 9 months. You rest now,,,,,,your healing is done. Your lesson for this life learned . Fly high my friend, soar to the heavens and let your love and kindness sprinkle down on those of us who need it. I love you so much Merna and only wish I wasn’t 3000 miles away. Jim never did anything at a convenient time. God bless you all. LOVE AND HUGS Cass

I am so sad and sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a good friend with a good heart. I know he struggled in his adult life and I am glad to have shared a few good memories with him.

Rest in peace, sweet Jim … (Mike … but that ‘s joke between the two of us). Always a smile, always an ability to share from the heart, always there with a compassionate hand and shoulder. You will be missed.
Elaine Tuffli says
Was so very sorry to hear of Jims passing. His soul is at peace, may he be able to rest now. Will remember the good memories of Jim. God bless you all
Emily Hollow says
Jim- I pray that you have found perfect peace and tremendous freedom. I identify with you much more than one may assume from the outside looking in. Consequently, you’ve made me feel less alone on many occasions. It’s not often that I’ve found someone who is able to offer so much grace. I appreciate all of the love and support you’ve given me, and I hope I’ve been able to reciprocate the decency you’ve shown me. Peace and love be with you. I’ll see you on the other side my friend
Carrie Frohreich says
I am so very saddened by the loss of Jim. He had a very friendly manner, good sense of humor, and never said an unkind word. I will always remember Jim and will miss his presence. Peace and Prayers.

To you Aunt Merna and all of the family: I just now learned of Jim Bob’s passing last night, which was September the 8th. I was looking for your phone number on google and I saw that. I have been married since 2011 and living in Yuba City, California. I know that his soul has gone on to be with his Father and all of his family and Grandma!
