Ruth Kleinman

There has been another sad loss for our gluten-free community. Ruth Kleinman passed away from a heart attack in September. Ruth was like the celiac grandmother of our group. She was always so sweet and kind and always impressed me with her internet-savviness. When she was in good health, she always had such nice comments for our board. I will never forget when I first met Ruth at the NYC Cooking Spree when she said "Celiac men and women are all so beautiful. Guess this gluten-free is working for us." My condolences to Ruth's family on their loss.

Thank you for posting this Erin. She was so completely thoughtful and selfless. She will truly be missed.

Aileen had contacted me to inquire about Ruth. I hadn't heard from her for quite a while either...and I felt somewhere deep down that she might have passed away and I couldn't face it. She was such a sweet lady. Like another grandparent I suddenly met as part of this group. I had been planning to bring her some new GF bread to try. I am just speechless. Another deep loss.

Ben, thank you for the putting up this beautiful photo!
