Dearest friends who are family - Ruthie is still the sweetest little girl and young woman in my mind. I cannot imagine not being with you all today, but a little grandson is with me all day. It is my hope to see you in the coming days.
Fondly, Marilyn

I too am saddened to hear the news of Mrs. Adler's death. She taught my brother and I piano in the 1960s! I went on to obtain a degree in music and have enjoyed many decades of performing. My memories of sitting at the piano with her no, no, no in her English accent still makes me smile. She has left quite a legacy! Condolences to all her family.

I am so saddened to hear this news-my deepest condolences to Ruth's family. "Mrs. Adler" taught me piano 36 years ago-for several years; she was an amazing piano teacher who helped prepare me for my McGill Conservatory exams. I will never forget how kind, encouraging, and patient she was. I have such fond memories of her and they are as vivid today as they were in the 80's. She really made such an impact on me. She will be greatly missed. xx
