I lived next to Ruth for six years and greatly enjoyed her friendship and companionship. I have never met a person more true to her beliefs or kinder in her treatment of other people and their problems or concerns. Ruth will be dearly missed.

I was a student of Mrs. Kaslove at Nathan Hale Junior High School in Norwalk in the 60's, and I'll never forget her -- even all these years later. I learned a lot from her and liked her very much. She was a real "lady" and set such a good example for us all. My condolences to the family.

Dear family of Mrs. Kaslove, I was a student of hers at Brien McMahon and learned many skills from her that I still use today. I enjoyed her so much and may she rest in the peace of our Lord!
