She lived next door to us in Turkey when I was about 4 years old. My parents had a very sweet watercolor of two ornamental trees on a mountainside that she painted (it also has a red Chinese marking on it). When I asked about the picture years ago, I was told it was painted by our neighbor in Turkey. My mother said she was a wonderful person and very attractive. She claimed my father loved her, haha. I just pulled out the picture today, got her name, and did a little research on her. I was amazed to discover she had lived such a fascinating life. I'm so sorry to discover that she had so recently passed.

I realize this is late coming but I only just realized that Frau Ruzich was gone. For many years she ran the riding program at Rock Creek stables in DC. It was here on one ride a service truck backfired an Her beautiful horse Contessa reared and she was thrown on a rock and we imagined that would be the end of her riding. I was just a kid and took out trails etc. Upon watching her school and train I knew I had to learn more. With her signature long braid down her back and her positive kind manner it was something all of us would never forget . It would have given me great pleasure to just sit and talk with her once more. So I will close my eyes and see her ride in my memories. Thank you my mentor.

I really miss my friend Renate. She gave me many good pieces of bacon and other treats. Best were the way she gave me good pets and told me stories of growing up in Germany. I am so sorry that she is gone.

Love

I met this woman on my first visit to House Hollow in Madison County, as many of you probably did if you had visited there. She was the prior owner of House Hollow.
I told her once how much I appreciated the way she had maintained the House cemetery (even though there was only one stone, it sat in the middle of a lush green field in a surrounded by tall trees). She replied she felt that if she cared for our ancestors, she hoped someone some where in Germany was doing the same for hers.

I loved knowing Renate. She joined our writing group years ago and we were fascinated by her story and we were so happy that she had it published. I will never forget her and the time we spent together at the Authors Meeting at the Culpeper Library. My prayers are with her family and her dear friends. Fran Cecere

Renate was an inspiration sharing her stories and life with us. She survived so much and came out the other side a sweet, caring soul. I will miss her.
