    To the Harder family — I have been praying for all of you since heard of Kathy’s death. She must have been a special person not only to you but to the lives of the people she touched. I am a long time friend of Erin Pressley. May God send you his peace. With my deepest sympathy, Priscilla Harder Pirozzolo

    I am so sorry to hear about Kathy. I first met her in high school and later reconnected at Karns City. She was always so friendly and ready to laugh. I’m glad she was with family because I know how important you were to her.
    Deepest sympathies.

    I was so sorry to read the news about Kathy in last night’s BUTLER EAGLE. I was the librarian at Karns City High School for 35 years, and many years ago Kathy worked from one of the library rooms when she was at the school. I saw and spoke with her often and remember what a friendly and easygoing person she was. My sympathies to all of her family.
