It is said often," a picture speaks a thousand words", more like millions to me. It is the one thing that can stop time and see faster than a blink. Because of that our recall comes often from pictures. We treasure the ones that catch our good side, a good hair day and for sure that speak love, joy and peace. These few blinks captured a glimpse of how many more there are of Jimmy's life.  A fine tribute to a life lived well and anticipation for the day when there will be no more separation. "Maybe" pictures won't be desired anymore. Or unlimited jpeg heaven files? And even more so, "maybe" there we won't have to look back since the present moments of pure love and peace, complete and whole won't end and never to be separated.  No, we don't know the details, but we have the headlines and that's enough. The love we have received and given is where we have lived well and that is what will be increased in unlimited ways.  I am honored to be Alyne's cousin and around them most when I was a child but though "many" years ago, it's the laughter, love and fun between them that has never faded. Thank you, Jimmy, for being you! I am honored to have known and loved you, if even but a tiny bit! Thank you for loving Alyne and family!                                                       
My wise dad told me, "You can tell a lot about someone by their shoes", ( I thought about that, it's true.)  My Cinderella glamour heels, turned low and "plump" in time.  The insoles appropriately called a mini mattress! lol!  Dad was right! Jimmy was a good big guy, handsome gentlemen, classy dresser and wore the finest shoes available. Custom fit, classy, varieties unlimited. He valued the quality and made it happen for other men in many feet and pocketbook sizes! But one thing for sure, "NO ONE. NOT ONE will ever be able to wear his shoes, "so to speak". There was only one Jimmy Pierce; he made them of highest value! Like him in real life. The best of the best! Pat Wright Girling

Our condolences to the Pierce Family.  The tribute movie was nice.

Mrs. Pierce and Julie I am so sorry for your loss, the movie brought me too tears it was the most beautiful tribute I've seen. Be consoled that Jeff welcomed him to Heaven and one day the rest of us will join him.

Jimmy was such a sweet, caring, lovable, witty, gentleman. He had a heart of gold and always had something nice to say. He loved his family so very much and treated friends as they were family. Rest in Peace Jimmy. I bet heaven lit up to greet you:) You are dearly missed!!!

 Amanda, Derek and family XOXOX

I don’t even know where to begin. Jimmy was the most kindest, sweetest, caring and loving person I’ve ever known. The love he had for his family and friends was like no other. Especially his bride Alyne. The love they had for each other is a testament of true love. I will miss Jimmys smile and the way he always made you feel so important. I love you Jimmy Pierce to the moon and back.
