Kathy will always be remembered as one who was devoted to the substance abuse prevention and treatment field and never stopped caring about promoting meaningful services. She also was an ardent member of the all-important Dinosaur Club and will be remembered as a unique member. We are all better for having known her.

Sending deepest condolences to all of Kathy's loved ones. A beloved family member and friend, and a consummate professional and visionary to all who were privileged to know her. XOX

Kathy was a good friend: kind, articulate, passionate, generous, brilliant, courageous...I could go on and on. Her passing is a terrible loss to the substance abuse field.

Deepest condolences to her family.
