In Remembrance of Laura Ahern

On September 9th, Laura Ahern who was our board Secretary passed away. It is with our deepest sympathy and prayers to the family of Laura Ahern.

Previously from New York, Laura and her husband relocated to Smith Mountain Lake in 2008, where they have been experiencing a pleasurable retirement. She became involved with Freedom’s Last Chance due to her particular affinity for cats and desire to provide support to an organization which promotes their health and safety. Laura was also a volunteer at the Agape Center, a Christian Ministry.

She will deeply be missed and her work with Freedom's Last Chance will never be forgotten.
