I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting Natalynn, and talking with her on several occasions, also having the pleasure of meeting her sisters at The Chamberlin, she was so beautiful and such a wonderful person. I think of her beautiful face, and kind words. I think of her often. It is now October she is still on my mind. which tells me she is still a force to be reckoned with. Love and many blessings.

To the Roman Family. I spent this moment remembering how I came to know Natalynn. She helped hire me at Virginia Blood Services. She helped get me started on the road of being involved with some of the donation services. Being involved with the blood program and organ donation always puts you in a position to think of others. I always felt that helping others was something so dear to her heart. She was just so full of energy and spirit. God gave her to the world for us to love her and help her and enjoy her presence. Be joyful in knowing how much people really cared about her.

My heart aches for the loss of my dear friend, colleague and 'other sister', but leaps for joy as I know she is in heaven with our Lord and Savior. I miss talking to her, traveling the road on business and sharing career strategies. Love to you, Dan and Danny.

Dan:

We are so very sorry for your loss. I don't know what I would have done without the generosity of My Hands for Hope when I was going through breast cancer treatment. Thank you for all that you have done. Again, please accept our deepest condolences.

I will miss Nat, who was a little spitfire, living life victoriously, courageously, and full of purpose. She was and will remain an inspiration. I'm glad I knew her as our "other sister." Danny: You, little Dan, and the rest of the family remain in my thoughts and prayers. Nat is now safe in the arms of the Lord.
