I remember Kathy's arrival in Juneau (what year?). As I recall, she had lived in New Orleans and played the flute. I had never met anybody who had lived in New Orleans, and my wife was learning to play the flute. So it was a delight to meet Kathy.

Thank you Caring Bridge and Elena Ruddy for keeping those of us who loved Kathy closer to her.

In memory of a fine woman, Kathy Ruddy. We will honor the more of her and Bill. Thanks to Caringbridge.

We miss you and remember Great 4th of Julys in Douglas. Bill napping and you visiting with friends around the town.

Wishing you peace and the open heart to feel deeply all the love and gratitude flowing your way from so many whose lives you have affected, Kathy. Two of the people dearest in all the world to me are among them. Bless you for the love you gave them.

Our love and deep appreciation for you. Your love makes a difference in our lives.

Hi Kathy, I hope you are not in pain and you are by your daughters. Thank you for always being so kind and encouraging. All the way back to Alaska youth choir days.

Kathy, I am sending much love, lots of hugs, and many prayers to you!! Take Care of You!! Love You!
