Daisy Ryan, daughter of Lucy Luz Ayala of Luis Diaz both of Puerto Rico, was the oldest of two children. She was born in New York and grew up there and eventually gave birth to her only child, Monique D. Marcano. She was a single teen mom that did her very best to raise her daughter with determination, respect and morals. She did her best to support her daughter and always had her by her side. She attempted to finish college but needed to work two jobs at times to support her daughter and did her very best. She was a very good mom and I am thankful for all my experiences with my mom. Because of her, I am independent, college educated and am humble.
