To all the Silmarie family we want to express our condolances in hearing of the passing of Ruthie. I have always known her as Ruthie as she and Hugo were great friends of my mom and dad and we had many good times together over the years. I have always felt we were part of the Silmarie family. The Silmarie family lived close to us when we first moved to Brooklyn and we did not have a whole lot. One night we had a wild thunder and lightning storm and it blew the light bulb out over our heads as we lay in bed. Soon a knock came on our door and there stood a complete stranger it was Hugo we sort of lived in his back yard , He and Ruthie were worried about my mom and her three little kids and he had come down to lead us back up to their house, That is how we met the Silmarie family and we have been close ever since. I hope Ruthie and Mom meet in another world and their friend ship carries on, Oh the great memories I have of this friend ship.
We will be thinking of all of you at this time.
LOVE
Lanny and Bea
