Not sure what to say?

A few years ago I found a voice mail on my office phone, and it was Ruth singing Happy Birthday to me. I hadn't worked for her since 1993, but we stayed in touch over the years.

Ruth was an Art Icon! We all have stories and memories of her grand accomplishments. A great loss to the art community and to those of us who have known her all these years. She was as much a treasure as the treasures she dealt in. Bernita M. and Howard Russeck

remember very well our art contact with Ruth,
still holding many artworks purchased through her. May she RIP.
