My deepest sympathy to Ruth´s family. I first met Ruth back in 1993 at Harriet Cooper Associates. She was the most beautiful person. I will miss you Ruth. You are with your Dave now. May God hold you forever in his arms, Amen

To the Rosenthal family: Ruth was an ambassador, when she spoke she made you feel welcome and that your opinion mattered. She was a friend, a colleague, and later a realtor who I was honored to have represent my firm. Your mom had a stellar reputation, and her poetry was sure to bring laughter to any event. With sympathy, Frank D'Ostilio, Jr.

Betsy, Bobby and Gary,
I am so saddened to hear of your mom's passing. I was lucky enough to not only meet your mom as a realtor, but also to be able to call her my wonderful friend and neighbor. It was such a delight when I first met your mom and found out that she and your dad knew my parents quite well! Jewish geography for sure (and our dad's love of golf!).
Please know my thoughts are with you all.
May her memory be for a blessing.
Love,
Mindy Rosow
