I am Your Friend Phyllis's sister. I live in Woodbine, Ky. Phyllis can not even speak of your Daughter with out crying. Phyllis and Dennis loved her very much, she must have been a very special girl.

Phyllis called me first thing asking for Prayer for you.

   I lost my Daughter in law on Laborday 2003 to a tooth infection, and she had my grand daughter who was 13 months and my step grand son who was 32 months old. I just hope my Melissa has met your daughter in heaven, where I know both are waiting for all of us.

There are some wonderful mothers there who  have welcomed yours with open arms.

I know that is little comfort, but Jesus Christ is the great Comforter, and he will always be there for you.

I will always remember what a shy child Natalie was. Even though she liked being right in the middle of whatever was happening, she only did so while connected to the hip of Eaka or Dave. The first 6 or 7 years of her life that's the only view you had of her. In fact, her uncle John after seeing her playing freely for the first time remarked to her that " hey Natalie has TWO eyes."  He had only ever seen the one eye... as she peeked from behind the leg of her Mommy or Daddy.

Natalie was also notorius for eating most anything ...from seaweed to sushie, she enjoyed it all. I am proud to say that I may have contributed to that.  I fed her a white castle when she was 6 months old. She went to town and wanted more! I thought Dave and Eaka would have a heart attack when they walked in on me feeding a slider to their baby.

Natalie loved helping anyone or anything that she found in need, "that's huge for someone so shy." Her heart was warm and giving." She liked to read, play with her dog Angel, spend time with her friends, hang out with Bonnie, and Grandma & Grandpa, liked singing & dance, she loved to plant, care for, and EAT, from the little garden on the side of her house . 

Innoncence, Goodness and Love is all I'll ever know of Natalie.
