To Hank, Heidi, and Family,
I was sadened to hear of the passing of Kitty.It's been approxametly nine years since I last spoke to her since moving to Florida. During that time, I have thought of her often with several antique pieces acquired from her.
I will never forget the day she first walked into my flower shop in Runnemede. Heidi was just a little tot and we made a lasting friendship right there and then that lasted many years. I always thought of Kitty as being a real lady...and that she was.
I have many fond memories of the family and from my own experience found that those memories help to make the road ahead a little more tolerable.
With my sincerest sympathy...
Remembering....

We will always remember Kitty with a great deal of fondness. She was a very caring person and a wonderful neighbor. Words cannot express the sorrow that we have for your loss. We are sure that Kitty has found God's promised eternal reward and we hope that your faith will see you through this difficult time.
With love and sympathy,

Dear Heidi, Capt. Rudolph,Tom & Boys,
Kitty was a true blessing to all who crossed her path in life and especially those, like me, who got to be part of her family whom she treasured and took such pride and pleasure in loving and caring for. Kitty didn't have to, but she took it upon herself to really include myself, Tim, Timmy,Lisa and her family, and the rest of Tom's family into her own family circle. It meant so much and always will to have been truly loved and cared for by her,especially to me, having lost my mom, and dad, at young age. And I am sure it also meant so much to my mom--I'm sure Kitty was greeted in heaven with a huge thank you from my mom and dad for all the motherly love and care and advice she gave so beautifully to us all of those years. It saddens me to know I have lost another parental figure in my life, but I learned so much from Kitty, that much like with my own parents, I will take with me and put into practice in my own life. Kitty taught us to love life and to raise up those around us on a daily basis with nothing but love and support. All those times when Kitty would say to me, "you're just so damn pretty, or I justlove you" or to Timmy "you're just so damn cute" spoke to and nurtured my soul with a motherly touch I so earnestly missed and longed for. I will truly miss having her beautiful loving touch around me. Having lost my parents so young, Kitty was one of the few and quite possibly only adult in my life that was able to make me feel the security a parent's love can give you, a feeling you need to have even as an adult yourself. The special interest she took in me, will always be treasured by me. It gave me strength as I've grown. I remember my shower, the beautiful vases with fresh flowers Kitty had made especially for me at each table. And how she made sure I got a few to keep for myself. That touched me so deeply that she cared so much to make me feel special. But that was only one in the midst of so many times, Kitty did or said something to make me feel loved. Tim has lost his partner in crime and his favorite person to share a lovely conversation with and/or a drink. My goodness, how sad for us all to have lost such a beautiful light in our lives. Kitty will give us the strength to continue to live life and bring her pleasure and pride in her family. And maybe we'll even life life a little better for her sake, learning from her ability to live life well and not take things for granted. There's a phrase that reminds me of Kitty--Take each day, one at a time, and make it a masterpiece. Kitty, you truly were and will always be a masterpiece to me. I love you so much, and will miss you terribly, please continue to be a guiding light in all of our lives, we know you will be at our sides still. God bless you and keep you. Love Always, Tina

Heidi,
Words can't express what a loss I am feeling right now. Your mom was such an inspiration to me--she was my best friend and I loved her with all my heart. I learned so much from her and I thank god I knew her for so long. She ahd such a flair for everything she did. She taught me to look at the beauty of life around me in all things. She was truly elegant in everything she did and she was so proud of you-Heidi!!! I remember when she found out she was pregnant with you. You would have thought royalty was being born--but to her that was exactly what you were. She loved you with all her heart and soul. She knew what was truly important in her life--her family!!!!! Joe, Michael, and Louis were truly the best 3 things that ever happened to her in her life. She loved them unconditionally and she they were so precious together. There was truly a unique bond she shared with them. Your father and mother were truly meant for each other. They loved life and were meant to be together. They should have had another twenty years together. I will never forget her and will cherish my memories of her. I love you.

Dear Heidi, Hank, and family,
You don't know us, but we knew and loved your mother. At least monthly my husband Bill and I would stop by the emporium in Haddonfield, but only if Kitty was there. Her beautiful smile and sweet personality drew us in even more than the antiques!
Heidi--Kitty kept us informed of you and your family. Surely you know how much she loved you. She worried so about her grandchildren, and looked forward to the time she could spend with them and with you.
Hank--she told us how happy she was to be married to you. Much like my husband and me, you two complemented each other so well.
Although you don't know us, we want you to know how much we will miss your mother and wife. When Bill called me to tell me about her passing another antique dealer in Haddonfield had called him, I was so sad for all of you, but also for the two of us. There is no doubt that your sweet Kitty is in a better place. Unfortunately, those of us left behind will have to deal with the loss of someone so dear.
May the peace of the Lord and the love of your friends and family help you through this time. May it also comfort you to know that the lives of so many others were touched by your wonderful Kitty.
With sadness,
Suzanne and Bill McKenna

Dear Heidi & Tom, I was saddened to learn of Kitty's passing. I'll never forget the 1st time I met her in the Village Cheese Shop when it was in Haddonfield some 13 years ago. What a bright spark she was who brightened the day of all who met her. She told me all about her daughter, Heidi !
It was too late Kitty' as I was married to Terry.
Who would have known that our paths would cross again ? At the antique center buying gifts for my wife's Birthday or Christmas, Kitty had a great eye for something unusual; like a shaker hat rack that my wife loved.
Some 10 years passed and my son was diagnosed with a rare cancer, Kitty was there for my family at the initial diagnosis with some sound advise, as her grandson Louis also at a similar age was undergoing treatment for a cancer affecting him.
I never did get to thank you for that, and now the opportunity has gone.
Thank you............
You'll be missed Kitty - by all who knew and loved you.

Michael & I were both saddened when we heard the news. We met Kitty at Haddonfield Antiques center and looked foward to seeing Kitty when we would stop by to check the case we have there. This is a loss for an entire community of people that looked foward to seeing Kitties smile. Our prayers are with the family, and our thoughts are also with you.

It's hard to put into words what I am feeling today. I have lost my sister, my friend. Kitty was interested in so many things during her lifetime and each one got her undivided attention, whether it was teaching a "kid" sister to stop biting her finger nail, or to take tht same sister along to the shore for a real vacation. Kitty was a true "big" sister.
It was a very happy day when she found out she was pregnant and more love than I thought possible came shining through when her daughter Heidi was born. She was later blessed with three adorable grandsons.
She was truly a unique person, one of a kind, who showered love and attention on everyone she met. Kitty will be missed by everyone who knew her - family and friends alike.
We love and miss you Kitty.

In my mind's eye, I have the sweetest picture of Mrs. Rudolph. She's young, maybe 35, driving a convertible, with a scarf in her hair and she's smiling. The picture is so clear but of course I didn't know Mrs. Rudolph then. I guess it was part of a story Heidi must have told me about her beloved mother. Or maybe that picture just exemplifies to me what a free spirit Mrs. Rudolph was.
She was kind to everyone. She went out of her way to tell people including me how much she appreciated them and why. Most people can't put those things into words but Mrs. Rudolph could. It was one of her many gifts.
She had fantastic taste in furnishings. I remember being so impressed by the interior design at her house on Acadia Drive when we "St. Joe's girls" would visit during college.
More than anything, I loved Mrs. Rudolph because she simply adored her daughter. She loved everything about Heidi and she was enormously proud of her.
I'm so sad that Heidi has lost her friend, her partner-in-crime, her confident, her mother.
