James Palaggi Obituary

I can´t believe it´s been 20 years. Thinking of you everyday. Miss you so much. Keep watching down on us!

20 Years and it seems like yesterday?? Love you Son

The days go by slow but the year go by too fast. Hard to believe it´s been 20 years. You´ve been missed every day. Remembering your Beautiful, loving smile brings me peace. I know you´re looking down on your family. Miss you my sweet nephew.
Love Auntie Mary

I know I'm late. I just couldn't get myself to come an write a message I was hoping it would be a little easier. It's definitely not. It's been a long time. I'm sorry. I can't believe it's been 18 yrs. Your on my mind everyday. I think to myself after something happens "what would you say to me, or what type of advice you'd have for me. Would you think it was funny, or sad." I feel you with me I see your favorite # 37 multiple times a day. No matter what I'm doing. Breaks my heart I can only reminisce on the memories we had together! Memories we all shared fun in the sun by papas house ordering Palermo's italian beefs n pizza swimming every weekend. Even our softball games. When you fought like hell to get jimmy your lucky # 37 jersey when he played on the titians you where getting that jersey no matter what. You where one of kind. Such an amazing father, always there for us. No matter what you'd say "I can't help you if you don't tell me the truth" I talk about you everyday with the kids. I'll never forget those wonderful memories ! My kids will grow up hearing these storys. I promise to keep your memory alive! I have your picture in an album along side Karina pictures.. I can only hope she's up there making memories with you!
Love you dad,
miss you!!!

Missing You! Thanks for the pennies! All three 2020´s looking like new, in three different places. All at my feet where you said they would be. Keep them coming. Thanks for the wonderful memories of your beautiful smile that fill our hearts with joy. Love you, Auntie Mar

Im gonna repeat my msg from five years ago cuz it still applies
Its been Ten years since you've been gone
Cant believe its been this long
Sometimes it feels like just yesterday

Still hurst as much when you were called away
Time has gone on and so have we
Keeping your love alive in our memories
Miss you Jimmy
Love you
Auntie Mary & Uncle Joe

So many wonderful memories of you as a child. Rest In Peace sweet Jimmy, until Jesus awakens you and we are All together again.

Love and miss you,
Auntie Mary and Uncle Joe

Our happy memories of you keep us going but the sorrow of loosing you will be with us forever. Love and miss you Jimmmy, Uncle Dave and Auntie Pat

Our memories of you are from when you were a little boy, "Little Jimmy" We look at pictures of you back then, and that is how we remember you. We know you grew up to be a wonderful young man, as we knew you would, and that you kept that wonderful laugh that we remember like it was yesterday. One day, we will all be united again. Until then, we go on loving and missing you. Love, Auntie Jan & Uncle Mikey.

Yes Son, Auntie Mary said it well,Love and miss you...Mom & Dad

Five years have come and gone,
Can’t believe it has been this long
Sometimes it feels like just yesterday
And other times so far away…
Don’t feel like time has healed our pain
It still hurts as though you just left us today.
Time goes on and so do we,
Keeping in our hearts all the happy memories.

Love and miss you Uncle Joe & Auntie Mary.

Love Uncle Tony & Auntie Billie

Hey Cuz.Just wanted to let you know what you already know That you are missed everyday.Miss seeing you at the Family events but I know you are there in all of our hearts and minds. Love your Little Cousin, Johnny

Hey Jim, I was going through some old photos and came across a couple of all of us when we went to the zoo when Melissa was a baby. Gosh that was so long ago! None of us had any worries about the future...well maybe just about what animal we were going to see next! =) I wonder if we knew then, what we know now if things would've turned out differently. It's crazy to think that you're not here anymore. Life passes us by so quickly and only then, when it's gone do we sit and think about the things that we should have done or the things that we should've said. I should've told you that I loved you and that I always looked up to you. I hope that you know that. I wish that I could've seen you that Christmas before you died. I think everyone feels that way. I bet they wished for just one more moment with you, one more memory. I love you cuz, I hope you are watching over us along with others that have gone to live with God.

You are in our hearts always. We know you are watching over us all. You see how your children are growing up so well, you should be so proud of them. All our Love Uncle John & Auntie Re

Dad i miss you so much that it hurts..I wake up every morning to hope to see your face again. I miss when we would go and play catch in the backyard(pepper)and all the memorys that we've made together. They will always be in my heart and will never go away. FOREVER they will stay!

Dear Jim,
It's been a little over two years, and it still seems like yesterday! We all love you so much and we miss you!! It's been so hard without you but we are doing ok, the kids miss you very much. I think about you every single day, I wish you were here with us. I wish I could turn back time and the decisions I've made. I love you so much and I always will.
Kimberly is so awesome, she has such a good heart just like you, I see your smile in her everyday. Jimmy is the best son any one could ever dream of having he's so hansome and caring. And Mary is growing so fast and she has the sweetest heart, she is so you!!!
We miss you very much and we wish you were here with us, you are with us in our hearts and minds.
Bye for now
Love Lynae and kids

Dad it has been a little past two years and i miss you so much...I can still here the way you would call my name when you wanted me..mary and jimmy are fine...Mary and jimmy miss you greatly!!! well bye for now but not for long i love you and you will always be in my heart!!!!!!

Jimmy, I was thinking about you today. It seems like I was just talking to you not too long ago at some family function. I brought the kids up not too long ago to visit your mom and dad. Nevaeh accidenty called Nick by your name. I'm not sure if she new the difference, but she does remember you. I wish you could be here to see them all Jim, they're all growing up. We all are growing, everyday. For the Palaggi family I know that no matter how much we grow and how much we age, the pain of losing our loved ones never fades away. The pain of losing you is there. A sadness that is quietly kept in the back of our minds and at the top of our hearts.

Hi Jim, I came across a picture of you and Dave when you were babies laying side by side in a palypen. Dave was holding your hand and you were looking up smiling. I'm sure it was your mom you were looking at since we spent so much time together then. You had a way of drawing people to you even at an early age with that smile. I miss you sweetie and think of you alot. Aunt Pat and Uncle Dave

Dear Jimmy,
I saw this poem and thought of you.I am sure the whole family feels this way.
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to loose you,you did not go alone,for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,your love is still our guide,and though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,and nothing seems the same,but as God calls us one by one,
the Chain will link again.
Love and miss you.
Aunt Kathy

Well Son It's been a little over two years and the pain just will not subside..Something we will have to learn to adjust to. As you can see, your kids, brother & family, aunts,uncles,& cousins feel the huge loss of you not being here. Today is PoPi's B-Day. A bitter sweet day. well son miss & love you...

Hey Cuz....Just wanted to say that I missed you....Love your

Jimmy,
Another christmas has gone by. Your their in our hearts and mind.We all miss you so much.I know your in heaven looking down on us all.Keep smiling & merry christmas.

love uncle Tony

Jimmy, I missed you at the Christmas party. Christmas just isn't the same anymore. I think it was more fun when it was at Grandma and Papa's house. This hall stuff makes it too informal. It's just weird, but it's still nice to see everyone. Your kids are getting big. I can't believe how grown up Kimberly is. It just seems like yesterday, when we were all kids. I asked your dad who forgot to send the memo out that we were getting older. lol. I wish you were here. Maybe life wouldn't go by so fast if we had seen eachother more. Love you cuz. Merry Christmas

Jimmy,
Christmas will be here soon.Our party is tomorrow and you are in my thoughts and heart.Sure will be missing that great smile of yours.I know you will be there with us in our hearts.Love and miss you.
Aunt Kathy.

Hey Jim,
You know I missed you so much at my wedding cuz, I know you were there with other family members looking down. I just wish I could've seen you with my eyes instead of my heart. Love you

Jimmy you are not forgotten you are alive in our hearts. You left behind a thousand moments of memories that will live in our hearts forever. We all know you are in a better place and is smiling down on us all. love and hugs

Jimmy,
Missing you so much.
Love you, Auntie Mar

Jimmy,

We missed you so much during the holidays, but thought of you often. You were taken from us a year ago. We are learning to continue life without you. You are always going to be in our hearts and thoughts. And will be thought of everyday. And your memory is helping us. We understand that we all have to go on. There is comfort to know that we will be seeing you again. Until that day comes keep on watching over us, and smiling.

Love, Trish

Jimmy, There will never be enough words to describe the pain felt by your family for the past year, we miss you so much. I hope that you hear the voices that still talk to you and feel the love from the hearts that yearn to have you near. I love you. And I miss you so Much.

Son One Year Later And The Pain Is The Same..Love And Miss You..

Jimmy, Its been a year

Since we said goodbye

And still the tears

We do cry

We miss you more

Than words can express

And we wonder

Will this grief ever become less?

The memories of

Your Loving Smile

Fills the emptyness

From inside

And helps the pain

To subside

The pain will be here

still a while longer

But the memories of you

Will make our hearts stronger



Miss you and Love you,

Uncle Joe & Auntie Mary

It'll soon be a year since you left us. We think of you in silence, and often speak your name, but all we have are memories and pictures in a frame. We're trying to find the strength to face this, and the courage to bear the blow, but what it meant to lose you, no one will really know. They say that time heals all sorrow and helps one to forget, so far time has only proved how much we miss you yet. To some, you may be forgotten, to others a part of the past, but to us who loved and lost you your memory will always last. Your memory is our keepsake with that we will never part, God has you in his keeping and we have you in our hearts. You'll always be with us, Jimi. I know your looking down on us with that great big smile we all remember. You'll be forever in our hearts. We love and miss you so much. Uncle Dave and Aunt Pat

Jimmy, We think of you all the time and miss that great big SMILE of yours.You are in our prayers everyday.

Son it's our first holiday without you and you were surely missed. Love you always...MOM & DAD

Dearest Jimmy

The holidays are among us and we feel your presence so much more Memories are so strong during this time of year. You will always be in our hearts. Enjoy your first Christmas with the lord how wonderful it will be, to be with our savior. Until we meet again Love and hugs

Jim, Thoughts of you cloud the minds of all your family and friends, and overwhelm the hearts of those that miss you. Memories that cannot be washed away will fill us during the upcoming holidays. We wish that you were here, Jimmy, we wish that you were here.
