I offer my profound sympathies to the entire family. I spent so much of my formative life growing up with you all. Natalie was a second mother to me. I can’t begin to thank her enough for the help she lent me as I grew up. I have thought of my times with you, Jeff, John, Susan and Jack, often and I know will spend much more time in fond remembrance in the days to come. Natalie was a very special person indeed.
