From Qihui Yang ( 杨琦辉 )

I was very shocked to learn that He Ning passed away on June 16, 2011. I couldn't believe that is true when Wenhua, her close friend, told me the sad news this morning. I have been feeling so sad since then. We have been friends for many years. Ning was a hard worker, a courageous fighter with cancer and a great mother. I have not seen her for a few years due to some reasons. I was intending to go to DC and visit her last year, but did not make it. Now, she left us forever. I feel so sad and so sorry about that. I have lost a very good friend and I will remember her.
