Dear Pat, Tim, John, and Susie,
I have the fondest memories of your mother from living next door to all you Piersons for so many years! She led 4-H meetings, hosted Washington High School events, was a long-time friend to our family, and always had sound advice for our wayward deeds; she did this while raising 5 great kids and being a devoted wife. I will miss her but will treasure the great memories from my childhood, in which she was a big part.
Love to you all,
Dinah

We were so lucky to have had what we had when we had it. Fifteenth Avenue will never be the same. But, it was ours once, and that was because of moms like Ann Pierson! She will be missed, but not forgotten.
