They lived in Fairfax, VA for 20 years and moved to Brentwood, TN when George retired in 1980. They lived in Nashville for the past two years with their daughter and son-in-law. Natalie was a full time stay at home mom, an excellent cook and all around great person. She had a very outgoing personality and made an impression wherever she went. She was a true class act. She loved life and being with her family and was an integral part in all of our lives for which we are eternally grateful.

Mom, it is almost eight years since you left us. There is a large void in my heart. I am thankful I have all the great memories of you and and our family being together. Whenever I had a problem or was concerned about something you always made me feel better just by saying “ don’t worry, it will be alright”. You were always right. All the grandkids and dad miss you terribly.
When cooking I try to copy the way you prepared certain dishes and the love you put into the preparation.
It is all of these wonderful memories that keeps me going each day. I love you so much and wait until the time we will be together again.

Dear Mom, I can't believe you are no longer here with us. My heart is very heavy and miss being able to call you every day just to see what you are doing or cooking. I am still here at Mary's and want to be here for dad. It just is not the same without you around us. I hope you are smiling down on us from heaven.
Until we meet again, I love you.

I remember Mrs. Gould with the fondest of memories...although our lives only crossed a few short years in the late 60's and early 70's, I feel as though it was much longer. I guess it was because those years were such an impressionable time in my own life. I remember her as a fun loving person and a great cook. We still talk about how much fun we had watching Mrs. Gould dance at my Father's 50 th birthday party. I am sure she will be missed beyond words by the entire Gould family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Nana,

I want you to know that I love you so much. I can't believe you're gone. You have touched my life in more ways than you will ever know. Growing up, any decision I made or things I did, I always would think of you and Papa and how I could make you proud of me. I strived to live a life that would honor you and the values you helped instill in me. You are a wonderful woman and Jesus is so lucky to have you right now. I pray that you are looking down on our family and are smiling and dancing in heaven. This is not good bye....just a see you later. I love you and look forward to seeing your beautiful smile again.

I will help keep your memory alive with my nieces and nephews. I want them to love you as much as I do.

I will always remember Natalie as a lovely, thoughtful and charming cousin among a set of incomparable relatives I was proud to claim as aunts, uncles and cousins. I am grateful for the childhood memories and those created in the last 10 years when Natalie and George and their family became part of the life of my family. To George, Ken and Mary, and their families, my family grieves with you.

Love to all,
