Anna brought a smile to my face many times. She will be missed.
Sending sincere sympathy to Marcy, Fred, and all Family members on the passing of your Mom, Mrs. Pierson. What a nice, nice lady. My favorite memory of her, of course, was the chocolate chip cookies that she always had prepared. Even as kids, when we played “leaf house” in the Lincoln school yard, she always had a treat ready for us. Years later, as an adult, when I was visiting in Sheffied and took the familiar walk downtown, and passed by her house, she would be sitting outside enjoying the view, and we’d visit a little bit. She offered cookies then too! When she came to stay at Warren Manor, she was down the hall from my Dad, and it was still really special to visit with her these past months.
God Bless.
My deepest sympathy to the Pierson family.
Our deepest sympathies to Aunt Babes family. She will always be missed and remembered for the kind soul that she is.
Rose and John
