  9. I searched for Kathy Harper to try to contact her to and was heartbroken when I found this obituary. She was my 2nd grade teacher in Friendswood in 1997 and was unforgettable — one of my absolute favorite teachers that made an everlasting positive impression on my life. What a wonderful woman who will be greatly missed. Prayers of comfort to her family who I’m sure miss her each and every day. <3
