I only recently heard about Mrs Abelson's passing. I've know the Abelson's most of my life, since grammar school when Mrs Abelson was our leader in Brownies and Girl Scouts. Linda & Cathy, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a great person, and she threw the best Hallowe'en parties when we were all kids.

The Abelson Family
Ruth was a wonderful Mother to Linda, Cathy and all of their friends and family. She was amazing and had so much love for children and her wonderful husband Marv, they made the perfect couple. My heart goes out to the family. She made everyone feel welcome and loved. Love, Debbie

It was wonderful to hear about more of Ruth's life from Cathy's beautiful tribute today. She embraced everyone who she met at each phase of her life. Our son's were lucky to be some of "her kids" at CTW. We will be forever grateful for her warmth and kindess. Thank you Ruth.

To Mrs. Abelson's Family, Friends:
What The Bible says: The word "paradise" has been used to designate mankind's first home, the garden of Eden. {Genesis 2:7-15). The bible presents that garden as a real place where the first human couple lived free of distress and death. (Genesis 1:27,28.) Because they disobeyed God, the first couple lost their paradise home. However, many bible prophesies describe a future in which humans will enjoy Paradise restored. In paradise restored, we will see Mrs Abelson's face, young and ready to go. We can't wait to see what paradasic changes will be there, will you be there.

Dear Abelson family
I've known Ruth Lee since grammar school. She always had a bright smile. I am so sorry for your loss as well as ours, the Von Steuben Ladies who Lunch.

Do raise me up; help me endure.
When I'm in doubt, make my hope sure.
From deep despair, I turn to you. Jehovah God, my strength renew.

Dear Cathy,
I am so very sorry. I can't imagine what you and your beautiful family are going through. Your mom's passing brought tears to my family. We all have such beautiful memories. Ruth was an angel to every person she touched here. She is an angel in heaven now. Please know that you are in our thought and prayers.
Love,

It is with the deepest, heartfelt feelings that I want to share my love and sympathy with all of the Abelson, Hirschmann, and Goldstein families and all other relatives and friends. Ruth was and will always remain a loving, loyal, trusting very close friend, as well as such a considerate, understanding, and fantastic aunt. Ruth's energy was boundless and her soul was as pure as the waves in the ocean. She will now be once again with her love, Marv. They of course will sail the seas of heaven together enjoying God's realm of beauty, peace and serenity. I will always miss you. Love Reid

We send our deepest condolences to all of Ruth's family. We remember Ruth for her sweetness and great sense of humor. The warmth she showed everyone around her at CTW was special, the love she gave to all the kids- what a wonderful lady. Rest in peace Ruth. The Mokdessi family.

We have so many wonderful memories of time spent with Ruth and Marv. Many years of fun together. We miss those days and will always cherish those memories. Gone but far from forgotten in our hearts. Lewis and Brenda
