Please accept my condolences on Ruth's passing. I often light a candle for Emily, Bill, Barbara and Harvey. I'll now add Ruth.
Wishing you peace, Vickie Mogilner

Ruth, you are part of my fondest memories. Not only the redecorating from Bill's talent, but also the sailing with you and Harvey on "Tatalina." Your wedding gift of a silver dish from one of "Tatalina's" races has always graced our coffee table, and we cherish your thoughtfulness. You enriched many lives, and we thank you for being such a wonderful person.

Penny: We are sorry to hear of your mother's passing. If Hospice was involved this may be a blessing. Our sincere best regards, Mike & Marilyn Foster
