PEARSON
Andrew R., 90, of Clifton, passed away on September 25, 2012. Born in Passaic on October 9, 1921, he lived in Clifton for over 65 years.

Dear "Father Pearson," You have always been a very special person to me. I was so grateful that when the Lord took away my own dad, He allowed me to have "Father Pearson" in my life. I know you and "Mother Pearson" are together again. You both have my love and prayers always. Your "adopted daughter Ann"
