James and China took me under their wing when I was just a teen. I had the privilege of witnessing and receiving their loving kindness at an early age which has stayed with me my whole life. Peace and love to the family.

James Meier you will always be in my heart. You were my daughters introduction to high school.He was interwoven into our family for five plus inspiring years during our time at Camellia Waldorf SchoolSchool. James carried the true spirit of Anthroposophy. Not one Christmas passes without my warmest memories of sitting quietly at Advent celebration listening to the story James read every year beforevChristmas, about the little troll who wanted to become a real boy. China may you find comfort in Psalms 23. Please feel free to contact me any time. 503-446-7739. Come visit. May God hold you. Veah

I had the privilege of learning under James Meier. He was my class sponsor for my class of 2009, and a teacher who brought out my potential. His presence will missed by the Waldorf community. He was truly a great man.
