Raymond F. Pierce

It's raining tears from heaven today. I wish this remembrance was an arm around you ... a gentle kiss to let you know how much I love you. Grieving is such a personal thing, something no one else - even the closest family and friends can do for you.

Until we meet again -

Love,
Your sister, Marilyn

Although our paths crossed infrequently in the ensuing years, my memories from days gone by were of a kindred spirit and of a man with a wonderful sense of humor and a zest for life, his friend Marty says he will "miss his pal" as will we all, our deepest condolences go out to his family and many friends whose lives he touched.

Dear Marilyn and George,

Jim and I were so sorry to hear of your brother's passing. I wouldn't have known if not for your e-mail. Jim and I would have been there to pay our respects to you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jim and MaryAnn Alexander

To Ray's Family,

I work for the City of Springfield and knew Ray for years. He was always in good spirits and seemed to enjoy life to the fullest. We exchanged greetings when we saw each other. He had strong opinions about many different subjects. Ray was a nice and decent guy. I will miss him. City Hall won't be the same without him. May he rest in peace and may God comfort his family.

Restin peace Ray!
