To all the Ringwoods, I was so saddened to learn of the passing of your beloved mother and grandmother. I really don't think I ever saw her when she wasn't laughing or smiling and that is how I will always remember her. Our prayers and thoughts go out to her and all of you.

Thanks Mrs. Ringwood! I am sure she is smiling at all the wonderful people she has influenced throughout her life. I will always remember her as one of the greatest people I have ever had the honor to know. She was such a huge influence on me and the gang. Not to mention our parents! The last time I saw her I remember telling her...Joan You're the best!...and she is! God Bless Joan and all our prayers and sympathy to the family.

May the love filled memories surround all of you as they do me and for anyone who knew Joannie. Our lives are better for having had her touch us in so many ways...her warm smile, always a kind word, and so often she took the time to share meaningful thoughts.
