I was so sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. She was a very special woman who seemed to touch everyone's heart.
I knew her as a patient in the dental clinic at Brooksby Village but for some reason she was more like a friend.
I had no idea how sick Ruth really was. Ironically one of my best friends took care of her at Lahey Clinic the week she passed and she felt the same way I did about Ruth, that she was a very special person. I know neither one of us will ever forget her.
She really made a positive impact on everyone she came in contact with.

I am so sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. Your aunt gave me my first job out of college ,as her research assistant at the Harvard School of Public Health in 1965. She was the kindest and most thoughtful person. When I went to Europe she invited me to her apartment at Charles River Park for a small going away party. I have fond memories of her.She was a wonderful person.
