Dear Valerie, Liz, Greg and family,
I am so sorry about the loss of Frank. He really was an amazing man. As a neighbor I thoroughly enjoyed my many conversations with him. I loved hearing about his childhood days growing up on the melon farm, his early days as a DA and later as a judge driving up and down the state presiding over a phenomenal number of cases. He always asked how our kids were doing and what they were up to. he was very inquisitive and we would talk about almost anything:...

Dear Valerie, Liz and Greg,
I am saddened to hear of Frank's passing and am proud to have had the privilege to know him. He was always kind and had a great sense of humor. I know you will miss him greatly. Please accept my sincerest sympathy and prayers for you at this difficult time.
I am sorry I will miss the memorial service on Saturday.

Dear Pierson Family: My deepest sympathy in the passing of your loved one. I first heard about Valerie and Frank from Katie Whitmore, who I cleaned house for on Sundays, back in the 1960s. I was earning money for college in those days. Katie was so very proud of her son-in-law and of course Valerie and the grandchildren. I always heard about all of you every time I came to her house. I sometimes go by the old home on Sunnyside, when I go for a doctors appointment at Sutter Gould....

I first met Judge Frank some many years ago as a member of the Modesto 500 Lions Club. Frank was also a member. We spent many great times together and had a number of parties at his house. A great man always whom I will always remember. Sorry that I wont be at his funeral as I will be out of state.

Dear Valerie,
Vera and I offer you and your family our sincere condolences. My best memory of Judge Pierson was as a new Prosecutor receiving helpful critiques following jury trials in his court. His trademark comment was that all criminal trial attorneys must visit the scene which is what I always did and I thanked him for making me a better Prosecutor. Following both of our retirements from the Bench, I enjoyed our frequent encounters through the American Legion and the Tuolumne River...

To the family of Frank,
My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. May you find comfort from our God of comfort during this difficult time Act 24:15
