We were best friends as kids and today (feb. 4) I will be getting her favorite flower tattooed on my ribs. I usually plant pink tulips but this year I am finally able to get a tattoo and I know she will be with me. She always is. Happy Birthday my angel.

I just read about your precious daughter while researching the Grand Canyon. I have been crying all morning. I am so sorry for your loss. My son Ethan is also in Heaven.....he would be 12 now, just like Natalie. She was such a beautiful girl. I am adding your family to my daily prayers. God Bless you.

Just came across a news article about this and felt obliged to research further as such a thing should never happen to anyone, let alone to such a lovely beautiful girl. She is in a much better place now. I would say RIP but there is no point, as I know that there is no need for angels to rest in peace, they should be living it up in Heaven, as I am sure Natalie is! x <3 <3 <3

My dear friends, as the anniversary comes around it is a difficult time for everyone who loves and cares for you. We are always here for a hug and a shoulder to cry on. We love you unconditionally and although we did not get to spend much time with your angel, she is imprinted upon our hearts. You may only think that you were lucky to have been blessed with her spirit but she was more lucky to have been blessed with all of yours. We love you!!! Call or text for anything... and I mean anything

Yeargan Family,
You have been on my mind so much lately and still I don't know the right words to say. There are so many times when I look at Brighton and think of Natalie. I know the Lord has a plan but I also know that there are many times when we don't understand that plan. We love you and we hope that time has started to heal your pain.

Every October I remember your loss. I have been forever changed by having been with you and your children at the site that day. Natalie's death made me examine my own life and make some changes for the better. She touched my life in a very profound way.
August 17, 2010
I just came from visiting the Grand Canyon and Read about Natalie in the book. I also have a 4 year old daughter and I could not fall asleep i kept tossing and turing imaging what your family went through that day. May the grace of God be with you always.

Yeargans-
Our little girl turns 6 months old next week. I think of you all so often. Brian once told Ray "there is nothing like having a little girl." Maybe that's what helped me to convince him of a third?? We think of Natalie in so many things we do- often as we watch our little girl grow. We hope that time is beginning to heal your wounds so that you can look back on her life with joy and not pain... and that you know that just because time has passed and posts have slowed, your family still is very much in people's hearts and thoughts...
Love,
The Naylors

Grandpa Ron told me of your tragic loss and it just broke my heart. It's such a loss for your entire family. I have known Ron (or Ronnie as he is to me) since we were very young children. I have just recently "found" him again after many years and am learning about his life and family. My thoughts are with all of you.

Natalie,
I only got to meet you once, but you made such an impression. My little girl just saw your picture and asked why you were not with us anymore? I told her what happened, but I dont think she understood. Some people are here for a long time, building a legacy that people around them will remember always. And then there are some people who are only here for a short time, but make such a huge impact on the ones around them that their love and energy radiate around the world. Dear Natalie you are one of those. Although your passing spread your name, strangers to you and your family have shared their hearts, their sorrow and their faith in these pages. That is a true legacy. I hope that you will look over your loved ones and continue to fill their hearts with the joy of your memory.

I knew Natalie, and her family, they were customers of mine at the Commissary in Enid at Vance Air Force Base. There is no greater family than the Yeargan's and there is not a day goes by I don't think about her, there is a garden dedicated at Eisenhower school for her, and I drive by it every day, I say a prayer for her and her family, I loved her dearly, Debby Wanzer

This is so sad, my friend told me to look up Natalie Yeargan and when I read the story I felt so sorry. I understand that you are grieving. Natalie reminds me of my bff's sister. They are like twins. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck!

I have written previous messages in your guest book over the last 1 1/2 years. I do not know your family yet your sweet daughter's name & beautiful face always comes to mind leading me to visit now and then :) As I shared once before, your Natalie and my son were born on the same day. Even though I am a little behind schedule in writing, I do remember you in prayers for your comfort & healing all of which comes through the strength & compassionate love of our Lord. When we are weak...He is strong. His strength is PERFECT when our strength is gone! It's endless so we can just keep coming back for more and more! Even though I have never met you in this life ~ we share the same hope & promise of reuniting with our baby girls up in Heaven again someday! May that continue to bring you ~ as it does me ~ just the right amount of comfort that you need in the just the right timing. The Lord is faithful & all things will work together through Him in His time. May you continue to take comfort under the shadow of His wings of love! Peace & blessings heart to heart until my next visit ~ momomom, Louisville, KY.

Natalie,
It has been a year and 6 months today since we have seen your beautiful face with those bright blue eyes. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. We know you flew up to heaven on the wings of an angel and are now walking with the lord...smiling... telling us not to worry about you. We love you so much and there will always be a picture of you in our mind that we cherish and know one day we will see you again. Until that day comes, not a day will go by that we don't think about you, or pray to you.
We love you and miss you Miss Natalie Marie

Hi,
Because today is Natalie's birthday I wanted you to know that I continue to pray for you. I continue to pray for God's healing, love, and peace to surround your family. I got to know Natalie by the sweet stories you told me about her that day at the Grand Canyon. Because of those stories I felt I knew her. What a wonderful joy she was to your family! God's peace be with you.

I am very sorry, she is adorable and I promise to you that I will remember her name; her story; and her innocence.
I am very sorry about what happened.
But, now she is with God.
How she died really hurts me.

Natalie looked like an angel here on earth. I have never seen a more beautiful blonde hair blue eyed baby. Why did this have to happen to such a precious child?? I want to leave my condolences. This story has touched my heart in so many ways. I do not know you, but i have cried all afternoon just thinking to myself, why this had to happen to a little baby. Natalie, keep looking down on your family and tell them everything is going to be okay.

You have been in my prayers and thoughts so much over the last year, but more so this week. I was the stranger who sat with your kids as we waited for rescue to finish their work and who spoke by phone to Christie's mom in Alaska as we waited. Your tragedy touched my life forever. I pray for your healing.

Natalie,
A year ago today my life along with many others changed and will never be the same. That evening runs through my head all the time and I cant even explain my feelings inside.
I wish I could somehow change that day or take your place. There is not one day that goes by that I dont think of you. I have so many sweet memories of you and times that we have shared that I will cherish forever. There are times I think of comments you made or things you did that bring a smile to my face. Every time I hear the word blue I will always think "like my eyes". There are also times just thinking of you that makes me cry but then I can picture you telling me that I look ugly and it makes me smile. It is amazing how little things everyday remind me of you. You were so small but so big in our lives and our hearts. I look at your pictures all the time and still can not grasp that you are not here but then I realize how much you still are only in a different way. You will forever remain alive inside my heart and in my mind along with everyone else that had the honor of knowing you. I love you.
Love your, Sexy "Aint no holla back girl"

It has taken me a long time to get up the courage to write to you. I was there that day and was so heart broken when I found out as I was walking back to our car that was parked where this so tragic accident had happended. We are from Upstate New York and my Husband and I were visiting a friend from Arizona and we were there for the day. We got to our car and walked by all of you and the rescue units. I wanted to stop but as soon as we got to our car I heard Natalies name and found out what had happened and I just started to cry and our friend put on some soothing music, some how hoping that the out come would be different. My heart felt your pain and I still think of you and your precious and beautiful girl often and hope that your pain will lessen with time. I found this sight and the pictures of her are beautiful and just touched my soul.I wish you all the best. Even though I did not know Natalie I will always have a place in my heart for her. My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family. Take care, Becky Murray.

Christie and Brian,
How you all have been on our minds and prayers. There are so many times, Christie when you cross my mind and I just wish I could hug you. I remember when Natalie was born and the joy you had having a little girl. I have pictures of you and the boys and her in my house to this very day to remind me of how much you all mean to us. I hope that one day our paths will cross, but until then, please know that you are in our hearts and prayers forever...Give those beautiful boys of yours hugs from their little brother Marcos in New Mexico.
All our love,

I sometimes feel as if it were yesterday when you told me you were pregnant again. I prayed and prayed you would have a little girl, as I am sure you did everytime you got sick. It is really hard to understand God's plan, but we still have faith there is one. Last week we celebrated the life of Brians brother that passed, one year goes by so fast. The next few months will be filled with heartache for the loved ones we lost so close together last year, and joy for those still in our lives. As this anniversary moves closer I wish you the strength to keep moving forward. No words could ever describe what a resiliant person you are, I love you and wish I could give you a huge hug.

Dear Christie, Brian, Bradley & Marshall, I am Mercedes a former flight training student in Anchorage. I was trying to check back on you guys and just entered your name in the search machine, when suddenly I discovered the tragic news. I am absolutely devastated and cannot find the right words and I don't know what to say. After watching Natalie's picture I could finally answer one question that has followed me all my life and I know now how Angels look like. Try only to remember the precious time that you could share with her and how blessed you were to have an angel around. This is the only way to overcome such a great pain and loss. God bless you all! You will be in my thoughts for ever. Lots of love, Mercedes, [email protected]

This is an ancient Indian prayer that comforted me through my loss....
I give you this one thought to keep,
I am with you still, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow....
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain...
When you awaken in the morning's hush... I am the swift, uplifting rush... of quiet birds in circle flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night.
DO NOT THINK OF ME AS GONE,
I AM WITH YOU STILL,
IN EACH NEW DAWN.

Wow! It seems like it has been just yesterday that I heard you laugh and the clomping of your clip clops on my floor. I have tried countless times to write in your book but it just seems impossible to tell you how much you and your family mean to us. I remember you standing at your door banging on it until Andy came to get you. How your smile and laughter made everyday just seem brighter. How lucky we all were to have been able to be a part of your short life. I miss you and love you little Natalie. Heaven is just that much brighter now to have you there. We all love you and not a day goes by that you aren't thought about. You still remain close to our hearts just as you always have.

I just learned of Natalie's passing and I know your pain is great. Your beautiful little girl is now in Heaven with our Lord and Savior and I believe God had some important plans for her. I know she remains in you hearts and minds, but the day will come when you will be together again. I have had you in my prayers for years and I am sure God will give you strength to continue on with your lives and raising your beautiful sons.

Dear Yeargan family~
I check in Natalie's guestbook often and am very encouraged to see that you are still receiving such wonderful, encouraging words from friends/family and even strangers. I, too, am a stranger but we are joined together as sister / brother in the body of Christ.
I wrote in the guestbook at the very beginning under momo/momomom. I have tried to write a few other times but for some reason my other entries never made the guestbook.
I was disappointed because there were many times I wanted to encourage you but my messages never went through?
I just wanted to tell you that your little Natalie and my 6 year old son, Noah share the same birth date~Feb. 4th. I thought of Natalie all day on her birthday. I read your entry and was so deeply moved by your strength on the Lord even at such a time as this. Your heart of love and devotion to Natalie came through so beautifully in your words.
My mommy's heart was touched.
I am so deeply sad because I lost a 3 1/2 year old little friend of mine this past January 16th, 2008. She fought HLHS (heart defect) since birth. www.MadelineLester.com
She was on ECMO 3 times from July 2007 and hosptialized from July 2007 until January 16th. I look at Natalie and Maddie's pictures and I am just sure I can believe that the two of them have become sweet friends in Heaven along with my Baby Heaven that is also there, too. Her parents are still grieving as you are, too. My heart hurts for all of you so deeply!
Although you don't know me, you have been prayed for so many times I could have never kept count. I have thought of you many times and often I stop in to visit here in the guestbook. Sometimes just to read, to pray for you, to write a message of loving support and encouragement! Even if you never knew~I felt compelled to pray for your hearts and for comforting healing for you! I just hope this message makes it through this time.
God bless you as you walk through each day holding onto His hand while Natalie holds His other hand~forever connecting your hearts until we all join her in Heaven someday!
Blessings from a mommy's heart of 4 [email protected]

Christie & Brian,
We just heard the news of your loss of Natalie this week (I guess Korea is remote in more ways than one). I searched and found this web site and wanted you to know we are thinking of you. I believe God’s timing is perfect and He must have let us find out at this time for a reason. We are praying for you and hope you have comfort and peace that only Jesus Christ can bring in a tragedy like you experienced. We have 3 boys and a girl now and can’t even begin to imagine what you have been through losing one of yours, especially your beautiful little girl. You are in our prayers.
God Bless You all,

I can not believe it has been 6 months already. Your strength is amazing. I just want to let you know that Natalie is still very much in my thoughts and prayers.
My husband and I just had a very dear friend pass away. His life revolved around children, the saddest thing is he is expecting his first child in one month. Well I have prayed for him to find Natalie and surround her with the love and affection like he did with so many others down here. I am sure Natalie has so much love up there, and now I know she has met an amazing spirit in Benny. I can imagine him wrapping his arms around her swinging her around and making her laugh that deep laugh that you only hear from children. Just wanted to let you know I believe that.
I really do think about you every day and continue to pray for your peace and understanding that You too will join her in paradise when the time is right. I love you guys. God Bless You.
Love Donna

Christie-I was in Bashas today and I thought of the day I ran into you and Natalie in the store shortly after we got here to Phoenix. We talked about schools and assignments and babysitters. It breaks my heart to think about the day we got your horrible news. It is so amazing to see how many people still think of Natalie regularly. We think of your family daily (REALLY) and are amazed at the strength you have shown over the past 6 months. May God lessen your pain and bring you peace.

We were at the Grand Canyon this past week and we heard about Natalie. We were at the canyon because it was a year on Easter Sunday, since I lost my nephew when he was just 19 in a motorcycle accident. My sister and I took our families to the Grand Canyon to spend the day as a family and soak in the beauty and to remember Nic. My sister lost her son on March 23, 2007 and we made it 365 days but the sadness is still there. The deep pain that I hear you talk about is still there but it is not as present as it once was. We miss Nic so much and would give everything to change that one day but we cannot and he would want us to go on. We are still learning every day on how to keep moving on. We too know that one day we will meet up again with Nic but until than we have to figure out how to keep going and we take it one day at a time. My sister's favorite saying is the not every day is a good day but there is something good in every day. Sometimes we just have to look for it and hold on to those moments. It broke our hearts when we heard about Natalie. Our prayers and sympathy went out to you and your families as we have experienced the sudden loss of a loved one. We wish you peace as you continue on in your journey until you meet up with your loved one again. God Bless you and your family.

Dear Yeargans:
I am sorry that I was not able to reach you soon after Natalie's accident. We have such fond memories with your family at Vance. We think of you often and continue to pray for you. I have also thought about you so many more times since the recent and sudden passing of Nathaniel Dubriske. I was able to be with Regina at the funeral, but there are some words that I think can comfort more coming from another mother who has experienced loss to this degree. She was the first person I called about Natalie after Camille called me. We are praying for you all. [email protected]

To the Yeargan family,
I just came across your beloved Natalie's story today. I just wanted to say I am so very, very sorry for your loss of your precious little girl. I cried as I read many of the messages in this guest book, especially your recent message to her. I wish I could do more to take some of your pain away.
I had to have my little blond terrier, Betsy, put to sleep last month. Since I never had any children, she meant the world to me. She loved children with all her heart. If dogs are allowed in heaven I know she has found your sweet Natalie and is showering her with her kisses. If heaven allows, she will stay faithfully beside your Natalie until all of you can join her.
God bless you.

Happy Belated Birthday, Natalie! As usual, I'm a week late. You are today and everyday in our hearts and thoughts! We love you and miss you dearly. Katelyn speaks of you and we thank you for being her first "best friend". One day we will see you again and what a joyous reunion that will be! Thank you for being a big sis to Katelyn. Our lives have been forever imprinted from knowing you! Love, Katelyn's Mommy
PS Just wanted to let you know that I won't make anymore "not yummy" birthday cakes like I promised you at Katelyn's.

Dear Yeargan Family, I'm not sure what brought me back to the guestbook tonight but I must tell you I find your words Mom & Dad moving. Your love for your daughter shines through and your faith is a testament to all! We were at the Canyon that day and I prayed with you Mom and the boys. My son climbed down a ways to see if there was anything he could do to help. We felt so helpless. I also am suddenly randomly struck with the memories of that day and often come here to this guestbook to just feel close to you all and find out how you are coping. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Natalie is blessed to have a family like yours and may you have strength to go on until the day you all are in heaven together again. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL NATALIE! With deepest sympathy, Anita Miller

I think of your family often, since the very day of your loss and viewed your guest book a while back. Well, I do believe it was Almighty God who brought me here today, Natalie's birthday. Having never met your family, I see it ONLY as God's divine intervention to lead me here and to pray for HIS comfort to be yours. I lift you up to the God that gives us the ultimate life and heals the deepest sorrow.

I too remembered today is Natalie's birthday. I pray for your family every day and I am so glad that our God is loving you. I was with you Christy hugging you, praying with you and listening to you tell me the wonders of your dear Natalie. I also had the privilege and honor to hear the wonders of your sons as they told me about school and friends. God's continued blessings and love to you and your family. Happy Birthday, Natalie.

The thoughts of that day continuously loop through my mind, it hurts but I don’t want to let it go. It creeps up in the most random of places and stops me in my shoes. My heart falls to the pit of my stomach and suddenly the world seems frivolous. Why do we go on? We didn’t stop breathing the day the sun set as if darkness wasn’t enough. We await the eternal light that will glow upon us all and we’ll be resurrected from this night. If you’re gift of life ended too soon these tears show our pain but if you were taken away from this imperfect world to live in paradise with our Father than our tears are filled with joy. Today we will climb out of that canyon and focus more on your life than on your death. Today is a turning point, today we celebrate your birth in which began an amazing enlightenment to love. It was so that you never lived a day without our love and today we reflect upon those memories. We are left here stronger in faith because of the love we have for you; your presence was magnified in our lives to 100 times the years you lived. We’re now here separated but not disconnected, empty but not alone, and devastated but not destroyed.
You’re always here with us, in our hearts and in our minds. We will always know the beauty of Christ because we have known you. Your life remains the story and not your untimely death. There is much we don’t understand and all too often confounded by the reasons why, but today we reflect. We remain here to look up at the heavens and remember the sound of your happiness, the taste of your love, and the touch of your life.
Happy Birthday, Sweet Baby Girl.

Hello,
I wanted to say I was very sorry for your loss. You folks signed our guest book for the loss of our 4 year old daughter Tori, in November. I have been thinking of you often during these last few months. You asked us to contact you I have tryed and was not successful in normal avenues, so I am going to leave my email address for you, [email protected]. Please email me.
As you said in your entry to me I know our children are in Heaven playing together.
I have learned there is nothing to say except I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your little girl, Natalie. Being a grandfather of two beautiful little girls of close to the same age makes my heart hurt to know of such a loss. My deepest sympathies for your family and be assured Natalie will be in my prayers.

I visit the web-site on a regular basis and am pleased to see that people continue to remember and share. I can only hope that the family understands how strangers can want to embrace them and show support and compassion. I thank the web-site for continuing to let this happen.

Dear Yeargan family, I have thought about your family a million times since you left Enid. We think of you all a lot (especially around soccer season) and even more with the holidays coming soon. We miss Natalie a ton and the boys too. Madison wanted to tell you all hello. We hope this finds your family well. Take care and God bless.

I just said a prayer for you. I prayed for Jesus's arms to be wrapped around your family during this time of coping and healing. She is one of His littlest angels.
