Not sure what to say?

Ruth in many ways you were too good for this world and so much wiser than all of us. Your uncanny ability to see and dissect things in such an utterly unique way was both a blessing and a curse to you. It was Ruthian. I often saw glimpses of the pain in your face. You understood things all too well. Your earnest struggles were never lost on me or how you would be the first to laugh at my constant jokes in a crowded room. May you find solace and peace of mind in the afterlife that you so...

How sad. You were good.

You were my child, you were my sister, you were my daughter's mentor and beloved friend. You were a bright light in our family and we will miss you so!

I just can't believe that you're gone Ruthie, though you'll never be gone from my heart. You were my best friend, and I will miss you terribly

Ruthie,

You were a part of our family, we all loved you so much. You are going to be so very missed. The flowers will never be the same without your special lens. Rest peacefully for now you have no pain.

I just received the devastating news. I was very friendly with Ruth all througout high school and for many years afterwards. Her first love, Adam Lewis, was one of my best friends and I will always remember all the laughs we used to have together. Ruth's generosity, free spirit and smile were infectious and this world is less of a place without her. I pray that somewhere in the heavens she and Adam (who passed away on 9/11) will find eachother again, hold hands and watch over us. Farewell...

Beautiful Ruthie so many people will miss your essence, your gifts, your goodness.

Ruth was one of my closest and dearest friends and a very important person in my life. Part of me has left this earth with her. I will always love her.

I don't even know what to say. This will be a sadder place without Ruthie. Her work was beautiful as was she. Ruthie dated my brother many years ago and quickly became part of our family. We al loved her and continued a friendship with her long after they stopped dating. My brother is a collector of her work. I hope she has peace now.
Mr. Litoff and Hope, I pray for your comfort in this awful time. The pain can be unbearable. I am so sorry.
Love to you all,

Toni
