“Our mother said to keep it short,

So in her words we will report

“Thank you to my family and Friends,

This is goodbye until we meet again!”

In our words we’d like to say,

Thank you mom for showing us the way.

With your life lessons of goodness and grace.

May we always put a smile on your face.

A celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday in the Kiantone Congregational Church.

The Rev. Mel McGinnis, pastor, will officiate.

The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service in the church.

The Peterson Funeral Home, Frewsburg, is in charge of arrangements.

Memorials may be made to the Kiantone Congregational Church or Hospice Chautauqua County, 20 W. Fairmount Ave., Lakewood, NY 14750.
