To the whole Pierson family,
The DuBois family is saddened to hear of your loss and our prayers go out to you.
My first memories growing up as a young child was visiting "Doug and Arlene" and all of their children. Imagine a group of around 8-9 children running around. Doug with his pipe and Arlene with a calm approach to everything and of course the great food and company.
Please accept our condolences as you celebrate her life and her memories.
