Not sure what to say?

Hey Mr. Goldsmith, Kenny here. Mark´s friend back in the day. You were so funny, gracious,and you gave best friend her first teaching job. Cheryl Jackson..still my best friend. Thank you for that and accepting me into your home in 1990 after a difficult situation. I still love Barbra

I just found out about Mrs. Goldsmith passing. I will always remember her. Mark and Craig keep your head up. She had given me so much during our Music years. Believe it or not I still play.

Mr. Goldsmith, Mark, and Craig,

I am saddened to learn of Mrs. Goldsmith's passing. She gave me so much that I carry to this day. She was a wonderful teacher and I was blessed to know her and be her student. Mark and Craig - I know you remember how she drilled us on music theory. In college I dated a music major, and I could do her 2nd-year theory homework without study (which drove her crazy) because you Mom taught me so well. I will sneak a line from Brandenberg #3 into a guitar...

Barry, my sympathies to you and your family in the passing of Ruth. She was such a wonderful lady and teacher. Take care.

I was very saddened to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My warmest condolences to Mr. Goldsmith and her entire family. I had the great fortune of learning the viola under her in Porter-Gaud's elementary orchestra. She was a wonderful teacher, and I will never forget her love of music, nor the Alto Clef which I learned from her.

To the Goldsmith family,
I have always and will always have very deep fond memories of Mrs Goldsmith who had a profound influence during my years playing the cello with the youth symphony which she founded. I so enjoyed making music with my sister Mary, Mark, and Craig. Under Mrs. Goldsmith's tutiledge we were fierce!!

May God's hand of comfort and love be with you during this difficult time.

Mr. Goldsmith, Mark and Craig: I am so sorry and saddened for your loss. Mrs. Goldsmith was my violin teacher, beginning in the 4th grade at James Island Elementary, all the way through my senior year at Ft. Johnson High. She played a very big role my development as a violinist. Because of her guidance, I had the opportunity to play in the Youth Symphony, Chas. Symphony, and All-State Orchestra.

Mrs. Goldsmith was extremely dedicated to her string students and made every effort...

Barry, I am sorry to hear of your wife's demise. May God comfort you and the twins during this difficult time.
