Kathy has a golden heart. She’s always concerned more about others. She makes you feel welcome, a part of the family, and comfortable. Her smile is infectious. We will miss her, but know she is rid of Huntington’s now. T.J., Colleen and Jon, Cindy and family we send our love, and know you are in our prayers. Dave and Debi Harper

Sweet…I can't think of another word that describes Kathy more perfectly than that. Her lovely, kind, beautiful, and yes sweet, face was a mirror to her heart and soul, to who she was to her core. Wherever she was, she made that part of the world a better place. My heart aches for Terry and all her wonderful family. The only comforting thought I have is that she is free of all the pain and struggles that she so bravely endured and is finally in her place of comfort and peace.

WOW! What a wonderful video tribute to Kathy! Thank you for that! Now I can see many of the best times of her life that I wasn't able to attend. She was such a beautiful person. I hate that she is gone, but I'm glad she's not suffering from that terrible disease any more. Our families, the Morris and Phemister families, were so close at least one of our cousins thought we were all brothers and sisters. While she was still a little girl, I remember carrying her somewhere and telling her something like "Your so pretty. If you were older, I'd marry you!" :) Of course I was also young and didn't know why cousins shouldn't marry. I still love her like a sister, and will miss her as long as I live. My condolences to all her family and friends. I share your sorrow.

Family I am so sorry for your loss , she was a part of my childhood and will always be in my heart. She made growing up fun. My family and myself will miss her very much. God Bless you all. Love Wally
