To David and family,
I was saddened to learn of your Mother's passing. What a warm and caring person she was. It was my privilege to have known her and to have had the opportunity to care for her. She touched many lives during her lifetime. She will be missed by all that knew her.
With my deepest sympathies,

To Judge David Kopelman and Family,
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Ruth Kopelman. She was a very close and dear friend to my late parents, Alma and Arnold Golov. May the love of close friends and family carry you through your grief.

Always bouyant, Ruth was an enthusiastic , and generous supporter of Beth Israel Hospital and BIDMC, and a good friend to me during my years there as CEO. One year, during the hospital's annual visit to Palm Beach, Ruth had prevailed upon Arie to stage a fashion show as the highlight of that trip and its success delighted her even more than it pleased the assembled guests. She leaves wonderful memories for so many, and will live on in that way.

To us, you were "Mama K": your visit lit up the Boutique and your delicious fudge made us smile. I only wish I hugged you a little longer when I said good bye 2 weeks ago...
Our hearts will forever hold your memory: the one of a beautiful classy lady.
