To Ms. Ahern's Family,

Mr. & Mrs. Ahern were customers at South Shore Chrysler when I worked there a couple of years ago. They were both very gentle people and loving. Mrs. Ahern always had a caring heart. I have thought about her often since leaving South Shore Chrysler. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this great time of sadness.

Mrs Ahern. You were a shining light on earth. Now you will be a shining star in heaven. You were always there to greet us with a smile and a hug. Appreciative of everyone and everything around you. Your kind spirit and gentle soul will be surely missed, but now you are reunited with Mr Ahern. We will never forget you. Peace and Love,
