James C. Tetzlaff

Still missing you Jimmy. It has been 15 years. Rest in peace. We have a new little one -Maisee May. She will be one years old already on May 8th. Love Joyce.

Hi Jimmy- you will always be loved here on earth- 15 years ago on this date April 17, and time, family and friends were all gathered in your hospital room as we sang songs you loved and told "Jimmy stories" of you impacted our lives- I´m hoping that heaven is good to you and that you´re with your mom and dad and your aunts and all who have gone before. I´ll always love you- I´m doing well, and I´m an deeply loved by Don- who I am CERTAIN was "nudged" to "wink" at me so I could start...

Happy Heavenly Birthday Jimmy- I hope there is a. Birthday cake for you in heaven and that you are with your dad and mom. You will always be loved here on earth, and you are missed.

Hey Jimmy, Kristen and Brian had their baby the other day. She's beautiful and she will grow up not knowing her amazing great uncle Jimmy... But we'll all try to play PLENTY of music for her to enrich her life with great music. You are greatly missed. You've been gone for 14 years and 24 days. You are loved and remembered every one of those days. I hope that heaven is good and you've found your mom and dad and all of the others that we all miss here on earth. Much love, Judy

He is still so very missed. Last month I rocked & sobbed in the bath tub listening to The Album America. In the car I cried out in pain listening to Cat Stevens “Tea for the Tillerman. I was not able to listen to music until recently because I had to stay numb for my sanity. I love you Jimmy & I know you are still with me. Judge not unless you be judged I say to those who turned their backs. Only the Lord God Almighty can judge. I think of you always but especially with musical notes.

My dearest Jimmy,

It's 10:31 in Chicago, and 10 years ago at this time, we were all gathered in your hospital room at Lutheran General to be with you and celebrate your life as your time on earth neared the end.

It's still hard to believe. It both seems like it happened yesterday and it feels like we lost you eons ago.

Jorge Meraz graduated from the Chicago Police Academy today and I know you are proud of him, as I am.

He realized his long time...

Dear Jimmy,

It's almost 10 years since you left us. I have music on my iPhone from our old iTunes library that often plays spontaneously when I start my car, and I think of you. That's still music that you loaded into iTunes. I've not changed the library except to add more music.

I fondly remember that last trip you and I took up to visit with the fishing trip crowd at Sandy & Len's in Ft. Atkinson on February 28, 2009. It was a beautiful but very cold and sunny day. You...

hey cousin, i see by the posts as in life and now in his life you are truly loved. one happy thought when you closed your eyes here your Dad was there for you & likewise for your Mom. your sisters are sweet to carry on your legacy as is Judy. May you rest in eternal peace.
