I have many good memories of Ruth, as I have been a close friend of Danny's, since 6th grade.

Ruth was a remarkable woman who loved life and her family. Her energy was contagious.

When I was in junior high, I spent a lot of time at the Weiss' house, where Ruth made me feel as part
of the family. One of my fondest memories was her love for playing low stakes poker with us and hearing her laugh when
she would win "another hand". She also enjoyed playing tennis with Danny and I at Keystone Park, trying to beat us...

She will be missed by all and always remembered.

Lots of good memories of Ruth as well as Leon, the boys and lotsa aunts, uncles We were plenty lucky that my sister, Sharon married into a very "family"-centric family. My parents, I and eventually Abra and our kids were automatically part of the family. No questions asked, no conditions, no expectations... just "come as you are". That we certainly did and will always continue.
