Sending condolences to the family...God bless Ruth, who made it to 101!! Every time I saw her, she reminded me of my Tyta, Julia Baroody Simon. I just realized that your Ruths maiden name was Baroody. Were they related?

I remember Mrs Jabara for her Syrian bread! My grandma Larsen lived across the street from the Jabaras until her death in 1972. We were often the recipients of freshly made Syrian bread. Condolences to the family.
