Dorrie, Kristina & Matt: It is difficult to put into words all of the emotions and thoughts that we are experiencing. I feel sadness that you will no longer have your husband and dad physically with you but then I know he will always be there looking out for each one of you every day. He will be there to share those special days with you. Not only was I lucky to get a great step father in Bob, but we got all of you as well. We are here for you if you need anything. Jimmy will forever be in our hearts. With love and sympathy~ Pam, Mike, Courtney & Mike

I cant tell you enough how sorry & sad Iam for you all....we have been through in the last few months what most people dont go through in a lifetime. It seems so unfair! Jimmy will always be special to me & know that we are here if ever you need us to be.

Dorrie, Kristina & Matt-
I really don't know what to say. This is unimaginable. I am SO sorry for your loss and the pain you are feeling.
I'm glad that I got to spend some time with Jimmy while I was home visiting Bob. He always knew how to make me smile--even in the toughest of times. I will never forget him and it gives me peace knowing that Bob has his baby brother by his side.
If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to call.
We love you, Patti & Bryson

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the Haglund family,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of Jimmy. I owe him a debt of gratitude for helping me when I crashed my dirt bike as a teenager. I am thankful to have had Jimmy as a friend. I will miss him.

My memories of Jimmy go a long long way back to when Jennifer and Bobby Haglund where just babies. He was working with his big brother Bob asphalt paving and would be at Bob's house alot while I was there playing with Bob's children. He would have this way of picking at me and getting me all steamed up and then just laughing his head off. I could not help but end up laughing myself because he got me every time. He was just a kid himself then and so full of life and thats the way I will remember your husband and father. A sweet little boy who could always make me laugh. I am sorry that you are all feeling the pain of his loss. May the memories you have of him help you thru this difficult time.

Dori, There are no words that can take away your pain. We can only try to remember the good times, and when we do we will cry, but after awhile, we will be able to remember the good times and smile. Jimmy was one of a kind, we will miss him.

Dori, I saw Jimmy not too long ago, and as usual he had a smile on his face, asked how everyone was, and told me to go see you for my nails. I walked away from him laughing because he was Jimmy and he always made you feel better. I'm still at the house if you ever want to just stop by, I would love to see you and help in any way. I love you Dori..Jen (McManus) Martinez
