In moments such as these, words seem insufficient in articulating how truly devasting this news is. My heart breaks for Phyllis, Bob & Clyde. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. In the coming days, weeks, months and years ahead. Grief will be an unwanted companion, as we wrestle with the loss of Natalie. The hope is in time, that grief is a gentle reminder of who she was & how much of a light she was in this world.

Natalie was my "fun aunt" growing up. She always took us places when we visited, like the arcade or the movies. She knew how to tell a good story and was a gifted writer. She loved her family and her pets. Life took its toll on her and she was taken too soon. She is dearly loved and missed.
