James R. "Jim" Beaudoin

Dear Beaudoins,

Jim and I were fast friends the two years we spent together in Erin Meadows. We drove people crazy by referring to each other as 'Bob' Instead of Jim, due largely to his mom calling us Jim Bob. We had countless laughs on the baseball team, him at shortstop, me at second base, Brother Dan the coach. And we enjoyed fishing in Monches and shooting hoops for hours. Two years as a best friend is a long, long time, and his loss digs horribly deeply, even after some years...

Dear Beaudoin Family,

Jim was one of my favorite gradeschool classmates. I am so sorry to hear that you lost him far too soon. My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you.

Beaudoin Family

I knew Jim from grade school at SKS and will always remember his positive outlook and ability to reach out to people to include them in what ever was going on. For years, anytime I have seen the Beaudoin family name in something we are involved in, I always looked to see if it might be Jim as he was one of the people I always hoped to run into again some day.

My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family.

Kim,

This is Barb and Rick, your neighbors two houses to the north at Little Cedar. We just found out about your terrible loss last night from our daughter Chris. We will keep you and your lovely daughter in our prayers.

With deepest sympathy,
Barb and Rick Wiederhold

It was a beautiful service, Kim. Liv was a sweet girl greeting people and freely giving hugs. It was as if she knew we needed them just as much as she did.

Kim and Olivia...we are so, so sorry this has come into your life. It makes us sad on your behalf. Of course we could say so much more...but know we know. (More later...when you want to talk...or if you want to talk.) Love ya'...

Jim will be missed by his friends at Starbucks. Your family is in our thoughts.

Dear Beaudoin Family,

Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. Jim was a great guy. I will always remember his smiling face.

Kathy (Benka) Benedict and Family
