@Anonymous,
Dear Ruths nephew/niece,
I knew both Ruth and Gabi, as we called him, when he was born. i was a small girl, but I hv concrete memories of her and a little of Gabi. She had a difficult delivery and went into coma when she had the baby. What I remember being told was that she had had a bus accident in Argentina, and probably broken some bones which had made it difficult to give birth, sounds strange, but that is how I remember the story.
She was out for a long time, and when she finally came around, she had difficulties walking as I recall. They had had to amputate on her feet. Gabi was a great little kid, and when he was like 2 they moved to Japan ....
I was so saddened to hear that he had passed away. I hd been so happy to know that he had a great family who had taken him to the US after his tradgedy ... I remember where I was sitting when I found out about Ruths death. Things in life that leave a mark.
I don't know if I said anything you didn't already know ... Just also wanted to express my sadness for your loss of Adam.
