Dear family of Pastor Jim Haugen,
Jim and I were Grade School Classmates at St.Paul Lutheran, Mt.Prospect, Il. We both entered the Lutheran Pastoral Ministry, but our paths first crossed years later at St. Paul Class of '59 reunions. May God grant you the comfort of Blessed Memories and the sure hope of a joyful reunion in our eternal life! In Christ, Pastor Paul R. Koester

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...

To Darlene and family, take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
I only met Pastor Haugen a few times. I remember the eulogy that he delivered at my Dad's funeral. It was tailor made and appropriate for my Dad. Rest in Peace Pastor James A. Haugen Sr.
