To the entire Kassoff and Krouner family - Deepest sympathy to all at this difficult time. I was just beginning to know Risa, my cousin, in a way that sadly never happened when I was growing up in Albany. I'm indescribably left a loss by her passing.

Jory, Tara, Shana, your dad, and your spouses, I was sorry to hear of Risa's passing. I remember her as being a beautiful, warm-hearted, creative spark. Different from almost all the other moms we grew up with—in the best way. My thoughts are with you. Caroline Sommers

Dear Dr. Kasoff, I was so sorry to learn of the death of your wife. I recall with great fondness my husband, Gerald, who was one of your patients, telling me of his conversations with you about your travels to interesting places in the world. Losing a long-time and much beloved partner is a wrenching life experience. I am so sorry for your loss.

From School 19 through Albany High School through Albany High School reunions it is very sad to think of an Albany without Risa at the center of things.

Risa was my Jazzercise buddy every Monday and Friday morning at JCC. Risa stood in front of me and we chatted and sweat together. I could always depend of Risa to smile at me and wish me "Good Morning." When I was not having a good day , Risa would always make me feel better. I am always going to miss her. She was a very special lady. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Just a few weeks ago I was sharing family movies with my mother and we came across the most beautiful moments of Risa as a young girl dancing in costume and riding horses. Always so beautiful and energetic. Our deepest sympathies from your cousins in Pennsylvania, Steve & Gigi.

Growing up, Mrs. Kassoff's house was the safe one to run to when adolescence was difficult. Walking into her magnificent home there was always a calm and it was peaceful - full of love and nurturing. Risa Kassoff rest in peace. With love to your beautiful family . Beth Patlen Steiner

Risa enriched my life along with everyone else who knew her. She fills my memory bank from Albany High School, Cornell and adulthood. Cherished memories of a warm, kind, nurturing soul who loved life in all its forms and filled her own with as much adventure and curiosity as she could. I had the good fortune to meet a portion of her extended family in the summer of 2013 when her niece performed in an opera In No. California and shared in their glowing pride of family. My thoughts are with Aaron,their children, and extended family during this difficult time. Risa's radiant spirit and smile will always be cherished.

My heart and much love goes to the Kassoff family. Risa z"l, was and will always will be in my thoughts. Her obituary says it all. She gave so much of herself and she will never be forgotten. G-d bless you, my oldest and dearest friend. May you rest in peace. Much love, Nancy
