Dad,

I love you and miss you so much. If you were here right now I would hug you and never let you go. When the police station called and told us what happed my heart stopped, you were gone. You were Jim Pfeifer, my dad, the man who tucked me in every night and told me a story about a little princess, and when I was scared came and layed with me until I fell asleep. The next day everyone at my school knew about it and I got a lot of card, but one that ment a lot more then the other, it was from one of my best friend Jillian, she told me that she was always going to be there for me and that everything was going to be ok. I felt like she felt my pain, like she had lost someone that ment so much to her as well. She reminded me of you because you were always there for me to talk to, to laugh with and tocry with. I really love you daddy.

Love always and forever,

Ypur daughter Molly J. Pfeifer

Dearest Nephew Jimmy,



You have taken a piece of our hearts with you and they will remain empty forever.

Did we let you down? Did we not tell you of our love for you? Did I not tell you of the few who called me Aunt Clarie?

You will always be a dear nephew to us.



Love, Uncle Bob and Aunt Clarie

Dearest Leslie and Molly,

We are so sorry we didn't get the opportunity to spend time with you at your Dad's Funeral. You had so many of your friends there that it was comforting for us to see you getting the love and support that all of us need at a time like that. In our conversations with your Dad before he passed away he continually told us how much he loved both of you. We know that his passing had to be very hard to understand. But you can be assured that he loved you dearly. We want you to know that Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Chuck love both of you and will keep you in our prayers. We hope to see you again sometime in the near future.

Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Chuck

ray and patty,



i am so sorry about jimmy; being the oldest grandkids in the filosa family, we looked up to jimmy and patty as older kids; i remember when i was in kindergarden (october 1962), and you guys brought us trick or treating in bellwood--so fun--great memory;



i don't know what to say to you, but to say that i remember jimmy fondly, and we all know that God is talking care of our son, brother and cousin, and he is safe now with God and woo woo.



God Bless you and be with you.
