Ruth was my friend. We met at a Psychology conference in the 1980´s and formed a mutual warmth and fulfilling professional as well as personal connection.She was a marvelous human being! She had great compassion and understanding. She was a gift to all who knew her!

Dear Cousins, I send my very late condolences on the passing of Ruth September 12, 2021. Ruth and i connected as distant DNA relatives on 23andme, then met in NYC , i think it was around APRIL 16, 2019. We had a lovely but short chat. i very much intended to visit again; but COVID descended and life became a blur. I haven't travelled to MANHATTEN since Covid onset. As if waking from a dream, i noticed that tomorrow was RUTH's birthday and. wanted to reach out to Ruth to wish her HAPPY...

I just discovered the news about Dr Heber's passing. I wrote her a letter assuming she was still alive. She was a special woman and I hope her family finds this. My therapy work with her was truly life changing.

She led with love and that made a big difference in the doctor I am today. God bless you all. Her legacy lives on.

I have lost the dearest of friends. We became so close during the pandemic lockdown and she was such an inspiration. I learned many life lessons from her and am a better person from watching how she faced her burdens.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Ruth Borenstein Heber. I am sorry for your loss. Sending you love. I have fond memories of Ruth, of her kindness and strong will. May her rest in peace. Rosalia Cassar (Yoga class mate)
