Nat was a warm and loving neighbor who was my mother's lifelong good friend. I remember when my mother was hospitalized for a week, I stayed with Nat and her family. She reassured me that my mom was going to be okay, fed me yummy meals and sent me off to school with a lunchbox filled with hearty sandwiches, delicious cookies and a warm hug. She was a genuine blessing in my life. Linda (Cobb) Buttrick

Aunt Nat's warm smile and loving hugs will be missed. What an honor to have had her bless our lives. Growing up would not have been the same without her presence, especially Thanksgivings. Memories of her will be with us all forever. My prayers, love and condolences to all her family. Love Gail
