Melvin Pierson

I miss my Dad so much, and at times, it doesn't get any easier. As I got older and his directions led him across the country we saw each other less than more children ever have experienced, but I always knew he was by my side and loved me unconditionally.

I gave him 2 grand children, 5 great grand children and 3 great great grand children and he had plenty of love in his...

We didn't know Mr Pierson for very long. We got to meet him in church a few times.

I love and miss my father greatly.

Melvin was a caring and wonderful husband, who took care of me for 65 years. He was a hard worker and helped others. He loved the Lord, and was always working for him. He loved singing with his children and was proud of all of them. He will always be missed. He is at peace with God.

In loving memories of my dad. He once told me that I would never be too old to sit on his lap and cry on his shoulder. And at 62, the offer would still have stood.

With love, his daughter Patty
