Natalie was a very intelligent and talented person. Her laugh could bring joy to my day and I would think back to High School and her smile that would brighten the hallways. I always treasured her friendship and was SO greatful we found each other on myspace a few years ago. We rekindled our old friendship very quickly and I will truly miss her but I take comfort in the thought she will always be with me in spirit. My Love and Prayer's go out to her Mother, Jessie, Family left behind, and especially her three children whom she loved very much; Gage, Devon, & Emilee.

They say time is precious,
That time is of the essence,
But what is this illusion?
What is time?

It goes by, they say,
But I don't see anything.
They even say,How time flies,
Does it have wings?

Never have I seen it,
Never have I understood it's physical being.
But I do know some things,
I know the time spent with You was great,
even just on the phone laughing about old times.

Time IS precious.
It IS of the essence.
But no time is worth my time,
Unless that time is spent with the ones I love.

How time weighs heavily on my mind.
Oh, how time does eat away at me.
Time is not physical, but rather spiritual,
For no time is more spiritual than when,
We are together with Our Family and Friends.

I want to say, to all who were blessed to have known Natalie...... Although I pray for your pain to pass, I know that the loss felt by each of us, will remain.

When I think back over the years of my own life, remembering the moments that forever changed and influenced the course it would take, only a few people come to mind.

Natalie was one of those rare few. To me, the word "friend" just doesn't come close........she was my sister. We shared experiances in our youth, and again many years later, that time nor distance never tarnished. Some good, some not so good, but always powerful, always meaningful, but most of all, always bruitily honest and real.

TO: Natalie "Friend and Sister"

"Life's Path"

Often I wonder why,
Why we seem to always want what we can not have,
Always wanting to hold and be held;
Wanting to love and be loved.
Again, wanting what we can not have.
So often our emotions tend to make us blind,
tend to make the wrong somehow seem right.
As if something hit me and I can't get up,
Paralyzed by emotions in distress.

For there is no one who can hurt me like myself.

I feel like I've lost you;
Constantly telling myself,
I could have lost you only if I had owned you.
You and I are just people traveling through life,
We shared part of our journey,
Time after time our paths have crossed, merged together only to appear to be one.
I didn't ask for it to be over nor did I ask for it to begin.
I guess that's the way it is with life;
Some of the most beautiful days eventually have their sunset.
Funny how the pain we feel when someone leaves our life, is in direct proportion to the joy they bring while a part of our life.

We are never prepared
for the loss of a loved one,
but God is always prepared
to help us through that loss.
May His love surround you with
the comfort only He can give.

I send my deepest sympathy to Natalie’s family.
I am truly sorry for your loss. Natalie was the most beautiful person I have ever met. My heart and prayers will forever be to her three children and her entire family and friends. Nothing can ever compare to losing a loved one. The day I got the call part of me passed away.
If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to ask. Natalie was not only someone I loved, she was also my best friend. The memories and pictures I have, I will always cherish.
I Love You Natalie

A brief moment of darkness
was all that I knew,
before Heaven's Gate
came into my view.

Loved ones and friends
I had missed for many years,
welcomed me with open arms
and many happy tears.

All the hurt, fear and pain
that I have ever known,
is gone from my life,
I am finally home.

I gazed upon the Lord's
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in my life
I knew and felt His grace.

I know that you miss me,
but please dry your eyes.
I will always be watching and loving you
from my home in the sky.

A cool breeze on your face,
a touch of light rain,
I will send as a reminder
that we will be reunited again.

Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
I am finally home,
Eternity is mine.
