I was so saddened when I saw this. I grew up next door to Ruth and Danny and just remember Ruth was such a kind and beautiful person. I was friends with her daughter Joanne "Nina" Berlinsky. My best wishes go out to the family.

Dear Danny:
I don't know if you remember me from back in the late 60's but you and Ruth I remember O so well. I was deeply saddened to read in this mornings paper of her passing. It brought back many, many memories for years ago.

You got me my first real job with F.A. Bailey & Sons through your neighbor at the time Furman Culluman and you and Ruth were on a cruise trip with us to the Bahama's in the late 60's that I never forgotten. I will do my best to be at the grave side service in Maryville tomorrow.
God be with you,
SINCERELY,
