Dorothy Clayton Pierre

I have too many memories to count, I can write a book lol. I miss your voice and hugs grandma. If it wasn't for you I would've probably never met Aunt Jean, Uncle John, Aunt Willie Mae, Aunt Ruby, Aunt Beatrice, Dewayne and Joshua. My favorite memories is when we spent three weeks in Morton with Aunt Jean & Uncle John. You always made sure we was going to get to see, visit and spend time with the family. I miss so much. Seeing you every other summer was a blessing. I miss you very much. Thank you for everything you've done for Judah and I. I still remember when you used to sing to Skeeter. It's hard dealing with you no longer being with us. Rest easy, grandma I love you.

I miss you so much Grandma and I miss when we were growing up and came over your house during the summer times. I wish that I could take the time back. I also remember when you used to walk around the house singing hymns and sowing. And when we would do arts and crafts in aunt sherra's basement in Georgia I'm going to miss you so much and cherish the memories we have together. You will never be forgotten and forever missed. Thank you for being an amazing Grandma and teaching me I love you so much grandma. As I would send you pictures of Sade and I you would tell me I look like a mother and tell me things about protecting her and how babies were coming up missing. You knew I hated watching the news but always kept me updated on the babies and I appreciated you for that. You loved your family and let us know in every way you knew how. I'll miss you Grandma. Love Lulu

Mama, there isn't enough words that I can ever say, all I know is that I miss my little friend, weather woman, psychologist, doctor, lawyer, etc... I now laugh at all the times when you call me or text telling me about the weather in an area I wasn't even traveling, Dr Phil said, Oprah said and Dr Oz said but the last 4 hour conversation we had was about what Jesus Christ said, I truly miss talking to you and happy that you didn't suffer long, I may come back on again and say something else, Judah misses you too, you will always be in my heart and mind.....The daughter you always treated like a child, thanks for my life, thanks for everything.

I have so many wonderful memories of "Mother"Dorothy Pierre that I will cherish and share for the rest of my life. Mother showed her love in deeds. I would like to share our first encounter. I had visited the Temple one evening and was walking home down Prentiss and this black 2door car with some sported rims zoomed placed me. (It was a bad car, high in the back) Well it stopped and backed up and the window came down and this big hearted lady said, "Hey didn't I just see you in the Temple and I replied yes ma'am." She asked me if I was heading to J-State and I responded no I'm going home. She said, come on I will take you home. I said, that's all right I stay around the corner (actually I didn't, I was embarrassed of where I lived). Mother did not move that car until I got in. And once I got in she told me, "Don't ever walk home it's to dangerous, if I'm not her I have 2 daughters and a son and one of us can take you home." She asked my name and she said, oh I can remember your name I have a son name Frank. That started our walk together. I love Mother as my own, every body at the Temple thought she was my mom. Thanks Mother for excepting and loving me as your own. I could go on cause there is so much more. From Chicago to Detroit to Lansing to Montgomery to Aliceville, Mother would say Frank you feel like traveling? I would like to thank Deloris, Shara, Frank, Elliot, and Eddie for sharing your mom with us. One of the last thing she said to me was "Don't stop Praying". I'll see you in the Rapture!

Granny, I wish we had more time, but I am grateful for the memories we shared. You didn't get a chance to see it here but, I finally let my hair grow out! I know you can see it from heaven. Make sure to plant lots of cabbage, tomatoes, and cucumbers up there. I miss you and you will always live on through all of us. Love you big.. Lemor

Words cannot express the loss I feel, knowing I will never see you on this side again. I will never hear you say " hey pretty girl". I remember the first dresses you ever sewed for me, I wore in the states on parade fashion show at GBT. One was pink and white and the other was satin pink and purple. I thought I was hot stuff . I will never forget you and all the encouragement you gave me down through the years. No matter where we were, MS or TX, I was still your baby. I miss you more than I can put into words. You had a way of knowing when I needed you most and you would make your way to me just to give me a hug and a delightful exchange. I have so many regrets... If I had just spent more time with you, I wonder if I would still feel this great of loss and remorse... I love you momma, now and always, your big baby. Torenda.

To the family, I know losing a mother (a best friend) is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know. I vividly remember Sister/Mother Pierre's sitting in the front pew at Zion Apostolic Temple just praising the Lord. She was very soft spoken and had such a sweet spirit and caring heart. I know her life and legacy of love carried a treasure of memories, and touched many including me. Yes, we have loss an exceptional God-fearing woman, yet her spirit will remain deep within many hearts. I pray for continued strength and comfort for the entire family. Love you all! Sis. Cheryl

Granny, I miss you more than anything. From your quick wit, to your many stories you would tell me while you were sewing and have us both laughing till our sides hurt. I'll never forget what you've taught me. "Never put all your money in one bank and don't take any wooden nickels" You were always encouraging me to do different things, and whenever I doubted myself your would always tell me in the sweetest voice "You can do it Carl, Granny knows you can, now cut the crap and get to it" LOL! I'll miss the hugs you gave me, 4 squeezes followed by a long embrace. I love you to the moon and back, rest easy Granny, you've done well and your legacy lives on! ~the #1 Grandson

This little lady was very funny and always made me laugh. We sewed and crafted together. I miss mom but I know that she's in a better place. No more suffering. Her home going was much to soon and unexpected. I miss my mother and her humor the most..

I can't believe that my bestfriend, my ride or die is gone, I love and miss my Mother more than words can ever say. Can't call you at the drop of a hat anymore, you were always there for me, no matter what. Nothing can ever replace you, this happened all of a sudden and too soon, I will love you forever. Rest Mom.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
