My sincerest condolences to your entire family. I had the privilege of assisting Ruth for several weeks in her apartment. She was such an engaging, intelligent woman. We bonded because I lived an hour outside Boston for 18 years. I recognized her accent immediately. Her attitude, in light of what she was going through, was truly amazing. She will be missed.
