Ruth, you were a mentor and a true friend as well as my maid of honor. I know that you were a special friend to so many others but you will always be in my heart.

Ruth was my first mentor. When she was our neighbour in Washington DC, I would spend hours with her and her dogs in her studio and on her porch, drinking tea. She was such a talented, caring person who was my protector at a difficult time my my life. I wish we had stayed in touch. RIP Ruth.
