My mother was a remarkable woman - she lived her life and chose her death the way she wanted. She was loved by so many - and will be remembered as Mommy, Mom, Aunt Ruth, Nana, and Gigi. Farewell -

My deepest sympathies to her family. What a wonderful woman. I enjoyed seeing her at The Village of Kensington Place. She also did a fine job as interviewer on many Village Talk Show episodes! She will be missed!
