I had the pleasure of spending time with Mrs. Ratnofsky and her beautiful family at annual barbecues over the years when Mike and Kristin would be in town to visit. She was always so warm and inviting and made you feel like part of the family. I always looked forward to going to the Ratnofskys for this event each summer. It was so clear what an amazing mother she was to Mike, Nate, and Jeff. I could also easily see how adored she was by Mr. Ratnofsky. She will always be missed but never be forgotten. She will be carried on through the lives of her children and grandchildren. Love to the Ratnofsky family from all of us.
