You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time in your lives.
Ruth knew Ruth for 62 years and was greatly saddened by her passing.
Gail remembers Ruth in many ways. She took her for many chemo treatments, helped her look after her two children, was there when Steven passed as well as for holidays and parties. She always was there to lend a helping hand.
Dan and David also are very saddened by Ruth's passing.
May she rest in peace along with Milton, her Mom and Dad, Harold and her beloved granddaughter.

Dear Michael and Allan,
My late father Arthur Mallon worked with your late father Milton for many years at Fownes Brothers Gloves. Your parents and both of you once came over to our house when we lived in East Meadow and we also visited you at your house (I remember you had a real pin ball machine in your basement!)- please, accept my condolences on your mother's passing. My father thought your dad was a very nice man.
