Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Cousin Ruthie, my "fraternal twin" is now gone. We were born three weeks apart and because our parents were close in those formative years(Ruth's mother was my father's sister) we shared many childhood,teen-aged and college-aged adventures,the memories of which lasted a lifetime for the both of us. Goodby Dear Cousin,

I will always remember Dr. Grobstein as a very special person for me. She loved my children and helped me in many ways.
She treated me as a bestfriend and not as an employee, that cleaned her house for 31 years. She was always there for me when I needed her help. I miss her very much. I spent half my life being in her home more than mine.

What an inspiration this woman has been for me. I much admired how she was able so successfully to redefine herself in mid-life and tackle a difficult new career path. And she made it look so easy because she always looked so good. What a lady! My sympathies to the whole family. With love, Debra

I maintain to this day the fondest memories of a month I spent with Ruth and her family in 1962. She was a most generous and loving person. My heartfelt sympathies to Sandy, Beth and Robin.

Ruth is my step-son's (Justin Randolph) grandmother, and I was lucky to know her. She was a gracious woman who always made me feel welcome at family gatherings.

My most treasured memory of Ruth is when my sister Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer. I will never forget the kindness she showed, not only to me but to my sister who she did not know. Ruth shared medical information, knowledge, contacts, and advice---freely and lovingly. She was a great resource and source of strength...

Although we never knew Dr. Grobstein, we owe her so much for the wonderful 17 years we were able to spend with our mother/grandmother after her cancer diagnosis in 1984. She was one of the first to be offered the option of having a lumpectomy with chemo and radiation. She passed away at age 70 of other causes.
