Norm, Tony and I just found out today about Lynn. We are so sorry! Lynn was a very special lady, beautiful inside and out. My fondest memories of Meadowlands was the time we shared with Lynn. She was a terrific person, with a big heart and beautiful smile. She had a very warm way of always making everyone feel comfortable. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Very sincerely, Carole Zingarelli

Dear Norm, even though it has been many months since we lost our Lynne, words still do no come easily to express our feelings. She was kind, loving, and such an influence on so many of us. It was my good luck to have married into the Piccoli family, and therefore be her "aunt". I respected her good judgement, her style, her love of fun, and really miss her quick laugh and wit. They say time heals all wounds. I hope "they" are right. We are still disbelieving this blow fate has handed us. She would be the one to say to go on with our lives. It will never be the same, but we have no control. Always thinking of her and you, Terry and the rest of our family. Love, Aunt Pat

Dear Dr Ruttenberg,
you came to see me last week and the first thing you said to me was "My wife loved you" on asking on how she was doing, I was so shocked and saddened when you told me she had passed away.
I may not have known her as well as alot of other people but when she would come into the store for her top up we would always greet each other with a hug. Lynn was always happy and full of life, to me she was a beautiful person, I will miss her.
God Bless xxx

Dear Dr. Ruttenberg,
My sincerest sympathies on lynn's passing. She was a lovely person and was very kind. I knew her from buying men's fragrances at saks and she even gave me advice on what to buy for the girls. She was like a mother to me and my own mother passed in january, so now I feel I've lost two. She will be missed. Again, you and your family have my deepest sympathies. May god bless you.

Dear Norman,
I was so saddened and utterly shocked to hear of Lynn's passing. She was the sweetest, kindest as well as awesome person I have ever known. I always looked forward to connecting with Lynn at Saks. She was the best Ruttenberg. My heart breaks for you, Norman, and the family. She will never be forgotten.

Dear Norm and family -
I am deeply sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. We worked together at Saks for 9 years and Lynn was always so friendly and helpful to customers and co-workers alike. Her cheery "Hey, Pookie!" would always brighten my day. Now she is truly a ray of the sun shining down to brighten us all with her spirit.

Dear Norm and Family,
Although you don't know me, I was a customer of Lynn at Sak's, although my friendship with her was deeper than that . . She was truly a ray of beautiful sunshine. A real class-act. I will never forget her reaching out to me a few years ago when my husband was going through his illness at Sloan Kettering. May her memory always be for a blessing.
April 10, 2013
Dear Norm,
Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. I will always remember Lynn as a bright, vivacious, beautiful woman. She was warm and quick to smile. You must have many memories to treasure from your years together - I hope that they can help to sustain at this time.

Joanne, Norm and family,
I knew Lynn from Saks, and what I loved most about her was the way she was everyday. When Lynn asked you how you are, she really wanted to know how you are. There was no pretense with Lynn. She was just a deep-down wonderful person who valued her relationships with people. She was never too busy to stop and say hello.
I will always remember Lynn as someone who cared about making people feel special. That's the kind of person she was – giving, caring and unique in so many ways. I am so sad that I'll never see her again, but I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to meet her.

Dear Norm with family,
I can't express the loss I feel by Lynn's sudden stroke here in Nevis. I saw her every day, smiling, laughing, dancing, being the nicest person I have ever known. So beautiful on the inside and outside. So helpful & generous....... What do you do when you loose a friend like that. I just feel so empty without her in my life. I can't even imagine how you Norm must struggle. It's so unfair..... Norm, you must stay strong though. That is what Lynn would want. She want you to have a wonderful life even if she had to leave you so early. Live strong Norm. Hoping to see you in Nevis as soon as you feel ready. We will be here to pamper you and make life worth living. Love from the Wienpahl family. Love you Norm & Love you Lynn.....

Dear Norm, Joann and Family:
Lynn will always hold a special place in my heart. I loved seeing her smiling face every day I worked at Saks Fifth Avenue. She made me laugh and was always there to listen. I'll always remember the quiet time we spent alone when I had my own health scare and we told each other how much our friendship meant to each of us. She was lovely and now Heaven has another angel. I will truly miss her.
April 2, 2013
Dear Norm and family,
Lynn was an extroidinary woman....so bright, honest, down-to-earth and so loved life and people! As part of our Nevis community as well as being a friend, she will be so missed but always thought of and remembered. She truly was a gift to us all! Our sincerest condolences for your loss and in your time of such deep grief. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

A lot of Lynnie's life was spent on Nevis, and the people on Nevis truly loved her. She was one of the best friends I've ever had; she was my rock, and she took care of us here. Her memorial, an impromptu affair on the beach with a bonfire at her favorite restaurant, was a very spiritual night. Norm and the family were all here and it was incredible. She will not be forgotten and was truly loved by the expats living here. Her spirit will continue on and we will always remember her for her caring, her love, and her sense of humor. There are not many who are as genuine as Lynnie. I miss her so much.

Dear Norm and Family,
I was so upset when I heard of Lynn's passing. She was great friend of the family (Diane Rosini is my cousin) and an awesome co-worker. She got me in the doors of Saks when I was in college and has truly been like a second mother to me there; always watching out for my best interest. She was a breath of fresh air and beautiful both inside and out. Lynn, you will always be "the cutest" and forever in my heart!
