On Monday May 18, 2009 my mother Nancy Lee Ring passed away. I was fortunate enough to be with her during her final moments. I will always remember her loving heart, wise smile, and her selflessness. She was a special woman who realized the power of a positive attitude and triumphant spirit in the midst of intense trials. She encouraged others to be joyful, strong and of a good courage. Any success I may achieve in this life should be directly attributed her willingness to sacrifice her dreams to help make mine a reality. I love you Mom.
