To Natalie our friend  / Courtney Chelsey Long (friends)
Natalie, We couldn't believe or understand when we heard you were gone.  You were Chelsey's big sister as a Yam Festival Queen and My big sister as a Harvest Festival Queen.  You always had a smile for us and a hug and would tell us we did a good job.  You accomplished so much in a short time.  But, I know you had so many more plans and dreams to fulfill.  We know you are directing your own little pageant in heaven.  Telling everyone to smile and do their best.  Our prayers are with your family.  Nat, you were so loved and missed.  Close

SUNSHINE CIRCLE  / Lori Lewis (Friend)
A circle is never ending, even when trials avail.
It never stops giving aid, even when you fail.
Circles are made of many things, sometimes wire or gold.
But my circle is special, it cannot be bought or sold.

Regardless of the challenge, or who may have a need.
You'll find them taking aciton, before anyone can plead.
A word of kindness, a visit to cheer;
Perhaps just a card, or lending an ear.

Devoted to each other, sharing laughter and tears,
Lifting your spirits, or calming your fears.
My circle touches the lives of so many in despair.
Ready, willing and able, to console with a prayer.

My sunshine is always present, even in the rain.
Like a cushion of love, absorbing the pain.
Never envious, jealous, or full of selfish pride.
Rather bubbling over with joy, taking life in stride.

Our hearts are linked together, bound by God's love.
You see, my sunshine circle, are really angels from above.

Natalie,

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to know you. You were such a joy to be around. Sometimes i can still hear you calling, "Miss Lori". You truly were a joy to every one who knew you. Your smile could light up the building. I miss the little "girl talks" we used to have every now and then. Although you never had the opportunity to meet her in life, i am sure you are up in Heaven now with my Mom going "Hey Miss Bonnie, i used to work with your daughter, Lori."

May your light always shine on in the ones who loved you. Close

Beautiful Friend  / DELORES WRIGHT (FRIEND)

Natalie was one of the most beautiful people I've ever met.  She not only had physical beauty, but inner beauty.  She had the best personality. She was always smiling and laughing, and when she would laugh her eyes would just sparkle.  I miss her everyday that I am at work, I see her handwriting in the charts and I think how could it be possible that she is gone.  She was a great friend whom you could tell anything and know she would never tell another soul.  I miss her dearly.  We all love you Nat!!

Friends Forever  / Cindy Gore (Friend)
Where do you even begin when you speak of Natalie? I know she was one of the best friends I ever had. We confided in each other about things that no one else will ever hear about. You really cannot do that with just anyone. She had the prettiest smile that would just brighten up the room! (I can see her now rolling her big blue eyes when I say that.)

She had accomplished so much in her short time here. For her to be 20 years old she had done so much and seen many places. I always told her that I was proud of her for stepping up to the plate on so many occasions. She wasn't affraid to try something new. She was never one to brag or boast about her accomplishments. You would have never known all she had done unless you read it somewhere or it happen to come up in conversation.

Natalie was always there when you needed her. You could have called her at any time, day or night, and she would have been right there. I miss her so bad that it hurts. I do feel like a piece of my heart was ripped out when she left us. She is all around me everyday. I see her handwriting on things around my desk all the time. It makes me feel like a little part of her is still here. 

I believe Natalie would have been overwhelmed by the response from people whos live's she had touched. People who you did not even realize that knew who she was were overtaken by her passing. That goes to show you how wonderful of a person she was.

Anytime I want to feel close to you all I have to do is put on some Keith Urban and I remember how much you loved his music. I can see you sitting there singing every word and smiling.

I love you and miss you Natalie! I know you are a beautiful angel!

Pat, Bonita, Addison, Adam, and all that are missing Natalie:
I am so sorry for the pain that you are having to go through. We will always have the memories of her that we will have to keep alive.
May God bless you all and give you comfort...

I miss my friend.  / Amy Purser (friend)
Natalie was the person that I could always call 24 / 7 with anything.  Sometimes I would call her to tell her the latest gossip, a joke, my accomplishments, or any problem that I might be having. There are days when I still pick up the phone to call her, and then I realize that she is not there.  I go to work and I find peices of her everywhere, a  note she wrote or her name on an old schedule.  I miss her very much. I never asked her to do anything to help me that she was not right there to jump in and lend a hand.  She would even do things that she really did not want to just because I was her friend and I asked her to do them.  For instance, she sang at my pinning ceremony on December 9, 2004.  I asked her to sing "WInd beneath my wings", which was a song that she really did not care for, but she sang it just because that's what I asked her to sing.  The one thing that I miss the most about her is her laugh.  We were so silly and we would laugh at things that only we thought were funny.  If we ever thought something was funny, we would keep on bringing it up just so that we could laugh at it - even when everyone else had long since ceased to see the humor in it.  She was a very special person and a  special friend.  She touched the life of everyone she met in a positive way.  I know that she is watching over me, and I can't wait until one day I get to see her again. Nat - I love you and I miss you (panocha)! ! !

To all of the family- you guys are always in my thoughts and prayers.  I can not imagine how you feel, but I am here for you if any of you need me.
