I really love you and I'm really going to miss you. I know I gained a guardian angel. An ancestor who will truly be missed.

We love you Aunt Nat.

Aunt Natalie, The years we spent bonding, I'll never forget! You were such a listening ear, with sound advice, love, empathy, and hugs. When I told my grandson you left us and went to heaven he said, "I'm sad Aunt "Matalie" is gone. I'll never forget all of the times you let me "run away" right across the street to your apt . I'll always cherish your memory . Love Letha....
