arie, you were the brightest light in such a dim world. you took the time to care for me, as i struggle with debilitating illness, while you navigated your own. i will forever be grateful for your understanding and kindness, and will grieve your passing dear friend. we will forever miss you at Talking Dolls studio in Detroit.
all of our love to your friends and family.
Knowing Arie and being her friend was a total privilege. She was SUCH an individual. Like no other friend I had and was one of the funniest, most creative people I’ve ever known.
Since I moved to California we hadn’t seen each other in years, but kept in touch by our preferred (quirky) means of using Instagram chat. I wish so much we could have hung out one more time. I will never forget Arie.
My sincere condolences to her family, who I never had the privilege of meeting in person, but I feel like I know personally based on stories and updates I would frequently get from Arie. I’m so, so sorry for your lost Ruvinskys.
Arie was a great person, an amazing talent, and an absolutely incredible friend. I’ll never forget her.
**Ariel, you were always my shero! **
Your strength, love for life, and relentless fight to keep living were awe-inspiring. You never let cancer define your life and fought bravely until you chose to stop the battle, leaving on your own terms with dignity. I loved our talks! Your gift of teaching was remarkable, and it was my pleasure to know you for nine years.
The spiritual world has gained the most beautiful, intelligent person I’ve met this decade. I was amazed on Sunday at how you channeled your messages to those who meant so much to you. You chose love, and you reminded us of your independence and artistry. Yes, Ariel, you were all those things and more.
Your love for your family—your mother, father, and twin sisters—was evident to all who knew you. You wished for peace and love for your parents and sisters, and I know they will carry your spirit with them always.
I will miss you, Ariel. Everyone who truly loved you and had a genuine connection with you will miss you. Ariel, you are loved by many, and I hope you knew that the moment you decided to take your journey.
I met Ariel at MSK a few weeks ago. I was crying because I’m stage 4 as well. She hugged me and did her best to cheer me up. I will always remember her kindness.
May her memory be a blessing
