Dear Jeannette, Donna, Jimmy, Diana, Maureen and Joseph: I will always remember my Godfather as having a tough exterior while being kind and soft hearted on the inside. He was always the first one willing to lend a helping hand or offer help. He will be missed greatly by our family. My condolences to you all. I wish I could have stayed longer to be with all of you but you are in my prayers. This is my second attempt at leaving this message so I hope you receive it. Love, Jeannine

To Our Second Family,

Words can not express how we feel about the passing of our dear friend Jim. We have known him since the 60's & grew to love him like family. Jeannette, you are more like a sister to me. Donna,Jimmy,Diana & Moe, you are like my own children. When people asked how many children we had,I would say eight. We were always together like we are now, in happy times & sad times, that's what families are all about.

God has taken him from us but he is in better place. He must be having a grand old time up there with his Mom, Me'Me' & Anitta.

God Bless all of you!

Love,

Your everlasting friends,

Vi & Ted

To Jim's Beloved Family,
He will be sadly missed and memories will be cheerished until the day we meet again. May he enforce the Peace of Heaven as he has on Earth. I'm sure Heaven is already a better place with Jim's presence. Love to all and soon the fond memories will only remain and not the ones of his long struggle with his disease. Keep up your strength, our dear friend Jeannette and time will help heal this very bad year with the loss of both your mother and husband.

Jeannette, there is a time to come and a time to go. I am happy to have called Jim my cousin, and sad not to have spent more time with him. Our parents were twins and as children we were close. I will cherish the memories. God Bless you and the family.

My father in law James J. Beeley Sr. was the hardest working man that I have ever met. The people of Warwick have lost a long serving Officer. I thanked Jim just 3 weeks ago for raising such a wonderful person, my wife Maureen M. Simpson, his youngest daughter. I assured him of my continuous Love for her. Sincerely, Buck

In paradisum perducant te angeli, Et tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres et perducant te in civitatem sanctam, Jerusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiant, Et cum Lazaro quandam paupere, Aeternam habeas requiem. May the angels lead you into Paradise, and may the martyrs come to welcome you and take you to the holy city, Jerusalem. May the choirs of angels welcome you, Where Lazarus is no longer poor. May you have eternal rest. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, And let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
