I clearly remember the 1st time I met Aunt Anna May through my friend Margaret Odonnel, Mike and Mae's daughter. I vividly recall her bright spirit, dazzling smile, and zest for life. I thought "I want to be like her!" She was phenomenal and will be missed by all who knew her. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

I knew Mrs. Ahern from when I went to school with Mary Ellen and was friends with Dan. For the family I am so sorry for your loss. Please pass my information along to Ed Borst, Mary Ellen, and Dan. So I can give them a personal note. Rich Rawski 9886 Garden Ct. Schiller Pk, Illinois 60176 (708)616-7816.

Mrs. Ahern always had a smile and kind word. She was such a gentle soul and a Mom to all. She will be missed. May your fond memories of her bring you peace in the difficult days ahead.
