Woman Who Taunted Dying Girl Now Offers Apology

myFOXDetroit.com Staff - Jennifer Petkov told FOX 2 Friday night that she never really meant any ill wishes towards Kathleen Edward or her family.

Scott and Jennifer Petkov even went so far as to display a lighted candle on their porch at the same time dozens of strangers were gathering across the street in front of Kathleen's home.

"If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't do it," Jennifer Petkov told Ronnie Dahl. "And to that little girl, I apologize if you've been hurt. There's not much more I can say. And hopefully we can live our lives peacefully from now on."

Scott Petkov also said he was sorry earlier Friday.  "We apologize for our actions and stupidity.  It was an ignorant thing that we did and it was basically in retaliation about things that were said about my house and my wife."

Scott's wife Jennifer doctored-up and posted photos of Laura Edward, who died from Huntington's Disease , showing her wrapped in the arms of the grim reaper.  She also posted a photo of Laura's 7-year-old daughter, Kathleen Edward, who is now dying from Huntington's Disease ,  her face becoming the center of a skull and crossbones.

Huntington's Disease is a degenerative brain disease.  LEARN MORE.

All this because of a neighborhood dispute?  Why?  Ron Savage asked Jennifer that question.  She says "for personal satisfaction... because it burns Rebecca Rose's ass raw."

Rebecca Rose is the mother of Laura and grandmother of Kathleen.  She and the Petkov's have been in a feud for at least a couple of years.  How it started depends on who you ask.  It escalated into frequent calls to police and personal protection orders against the Petkovs.

Besides posting disturbing photos on Facebook, the Petkov's painted their truck with tombstones and placed a coffin in the back of the truck.  The truck was parked in front of the Rose family home.  The Petkov's claim the truck is a decoration for Halloween.

Even so, Scott dismantled the coffin and has moved truck up his driveway, out of public view.  He says he plans to paint the truck and make things right for Kathleen's sake. She is after all, still alive.

Hopefully this neighborhood can find peace during Kathleen's remaining days.

There's a rally for Kathleen Edward on Saturday, Oct. 23 from 3 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. at Haas Park in Trenton.
