My condolences to Rolanda,James and the entire Pierce Family. I've known your dad for many years. When I started working at Carver Elementary, he would ride by and check on me. Even when I returned back to Carver Elementary. He would be walking in the morning. And he would stop and chat with me. I'm going to miss seeing him pass by the school and wave or stop and ask me how I was doing. Or how was my daughter and granddaughters doing. Your dad watched my daughter grow up in Mobile Heights. I'm really going to miss him.
It was definitely sad to hear about my former instructor and friend passing . I will truly missed our conversations and time laughing together. Praying that God will strengthen you in your moments of sorrow. Former Student 69-71 Trenholm Cornelius Carr
"Deacon Pierce." What an opportunity and most of all a blessing to have known such a gentleman. I became acquainted with Deacon Pierce through our work with the Montgomery-Antioch District Association. He was an upright man, one who loved the Lord, his family, and fellowman. Ann Starks
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
