Not sure what to say?

Odd but I had a dream about Jim last night. Drove by his house that he purchased from his parents and we had a chat. He introduced me to his wife and that's about all. Had to look him up today.
Jim and I went to the same elementary school, Forest, in SLC. We played together at each other's houses and then when we were in the about the 1st grade I moved and went to another school. We lost close contact with each other after that even though we both went to the same schools, Stewart, East...

Dear Virginia and family,
I just found out about Dr. Pearce's passing and it deeply breaks my heart.
I am so sorry. He was the most gentle, kind and passionate Dr. that I know. I loved working for him. Everytime I go to applebees it reminds me of Dr. Pearce...he loved his orential chicken salad, he had to have almost everyday...lol. My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family. Dr. Pearce will never be forgotten.

Dear Virginia

It is with a sad and heavy heart that this kind man has passed. I didn't know Dr. Pearce but for the two years I worked for him. I found him to be one of the most kind and intelligent doctors I have known. He was always spending his down time in the office making sure he was up to date on all medical procedures to make sure he always gave his patients the very best.
I have great respect for this humble, and very kind man. It was a pleasure to work for him....

I had the pleasure of calling on your husband and father as a sales representative for over twenty years and I can say that I can't every recall a day when he wasn't his calm, friendly self. Some of my favorite moments were when we would sit down in the kitchen and he would eat his terribly healthy lunch and we would discuss medicine, life, music and how best to enjoy being with our loved ones. He was so genuine and kind! We shared many passions like classic cars and The Beatles, but our...

Dear Virginia and Pearce family:

We send our condolences to such a wonderful family. Dr. Jim Pearce was Cheryl's Dr. for two years. He was a very good man and Doctor. He cheered us up when we were in the office. "You can do it" he would say. Virginia may you and your children's families be comforted. We thank God that we could know such a man as James Pearce. Please, please let us know if we can do anything for your family. We live in Riverton, Utah. (My husband, Ed came...

Jim was a greart friend and as my personal physician an astute counsellor. I chose him as my physician because he was in more than one sense the "doctor's doctor." The medical community will miss him as a fine person and as the ideal example of what the word "physician" really means.

Heidi,
My daughter, Savannah, and I were just talking about you tonight as she said your house was the only preschool memory she has from when we lived in Del Mar. That prompted me to look you up online and thus I see that you've lost your wonderful father. My hope is that all your memories of him will be seared in your mind clear as a bell.

We'll be thinking of you and your family. Hope to reconnect soon.

Virgina and family,

i'm so sorry, Dr Pearce was great and funny. I will always remember the crazy days at the office. He would say you will be fine. my prayers are with you and your family.

Love Dora and family

Dear Virginia,

Last night we learned of Jim's passing. With great respect Winn and I paused to ponder the times your lives have bumped into ours. You two have been a blessing in our lives. After a music practice at your home, I remember Jim showing us his butterflies! They are beautiful! May you know of our love for you and our appreciation for your selfless service.

With love,
Linda Egan
