James Michael Eide

Jimmy, we had a good mother's day. The boys made me wonderful gifts in shcool. We had a nice lunch with your mom. I had a wonderful nap and the boys were so very loving and helpful. Your mom had a good day too! We all love you so very much, Thank you for watching over us, we can feel you near us. Everyone is being so kind and we are surounded by so much love honey And the Lord is taking really good care of us. I have lost my voice 3 times now since you have been gone, I can't stop crying.

Mrs. Eide,
My sister Linda called me yesterday to give me the sad news of Jimmy's call to go home. What a wonderful tribute from Jon and how sad to hear of his passing so soon afterwards as well. I guess they couldn't stand to be apart. Jimmy was much younger than I so I didn't know him well but I know that you had a wonderful family and that it was a privilege for me to grow up in the same neighborhood with you. My heart truly goes out to you and I mourn your loss with you. May God...

Brother James,

So many memories. All I need to do is look around my home, and I see you everywhere. The kitchen counter tops, the walls we removed, the work we did is everywhere. I feel blessed to have gotten to know you. Row eight for the Stars playoff games, the trip to Lake Superior with the Dalmatians. That evening, when we came off the lake. The sun was setting, the full moon was coming up, the little cloud and the lightning show, and then going under the bridge, past that...

Few people loved fishing salmon as much aa Jim. He was good at it. He was safe and had the patience of a saint. I will miss fishing with him.

Jimmy, I love you so so much, I miss you my love. Your Nazy Rae. XXOOXX

Lanae, It was such a pleasure meeting you and Jim at the reunion. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Jim was such a nice person and we liked him immediately. Wish we would have had more time to know him better. Take care of yourself and enjoy the memories.

Sam & Vicki Anderson

Lanae, Mitchell, Matthew and the Eide family - 2 Cor 1:3 - "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of comfort, who comforts us in our affliction...". Our hearts and prayers are with you all now and in the coming days as life goes on. We are so sorry. We love you Nazy .

Jimmy was the first kid in our neighborhood that I idolized. He was left handed and had a first base mitt, could take apart and put back together any car engine, his dad radio or his moms appliance and always let us little Lowenberg's play in the games of the season (street hockey, football, baseball in the sand pit, hockey behind the gargage, etc.). Jon Hagstrom's note said it all. Our prayers are with you.

I, like Jon, have fond memories of Jim going all the way back to grade school. I was notified tonight of the very sad news by Pat O'Brien, another childhood buddy of Jim's. We remembered and spoke of Jim excelling in Math and other subjects and the fun the three of us had in the reckless innocence of 3rd grade. After John Glenn and North High Jim and I lost touch, but he holds a special place in my memory and the world is a sadder place without him in it. My thoughts are with all of you in...
