Ruth was a dear friend of my mother's for many years. My parents enjoyed traveling all over the world thanks to Ruth's tremendous expertise as a travel agent. Both Ruth and Robert joined my parents, Carol and Jerry, for many happy occasions, including my mother's Bat Mitzvah at Wilshire Blvd Temple. My deepest sympathy to Ruth's loved ones.

My sincere condolences. I have very fond memories of a kind and caring soul who told me, at my tender age of 11ish, that I sang very well.... And, who encouraged me to play "pots and pans" with Robin on the kitchen floor. Sending love and prayer to you all during this time of mourning.
