Dearest Natalie,

I was so very sorry to hear about your passing. You went through so much in your short life. The last time we talked you were so happy in your new marriage and although you were mourning your precious daughter Carrie I was so glad that you had found someone to love and comfort you. You did so much for so many and I will never forget you dear friend. At last you are at peace and watching down on all those who love you. You were a beautiful earth angel and now you are free to fly.

You have know idea (well i'm sure you do) what that means to me.You are a very loving,caring and selfless friend.I know how much you missed Carrie,now you can hold her in your arms again. Everything you ever told me came true, even my liver scare. I know you are here in spirit,and that you are close to everyone you loved and cared about.

I met Natalie and Steve when i lived in Ca in 2006,I lost my son, in july 2001. I found her website HHH, in which i gained another family. Thanks to both of them they were able to place a gift, balloons and flowers for my angel at his resting place on his birthday. through their loving hearts they formed a balloons4healing project to help other family that cant go to their childs resting place. They helped me move back to Pa to be with my family, Im forever grateful. I will treasure the friendship that i gained. Hugs and Love Denise Platz-Bretz

Natalie, you gave me the greatest gift one person can give another when you taught me how to talk to my son. Michael and I will always be thankful that you had such talent, but even more, you cared enough to use that talen to help us. I considered myself one of the luckiest people to call you friend. I'm sorry that you had so many hard months but thank our Heavenly Father you were blessed with the strength of Dr. Steve who loves you so much.
Please keep the signs coming cause we all need you as much now as ever.

Gosh...so many mixed emotions...memories...feelings...it's hard to grasp I'm writing this right now and especially who I'm writing this about...my/our spunky, sweet true friend, Natalie...:)

Reading through her guest book...it's so obvious that all of us who have crossed paths and shared our journeys with her and hers with EACH of us..feel the sadness of her physical transition into complete spirit...but a blessed peace in my/our soul...knowing she is okay and was welcomed back home with open arms and the grandest of all celebrations with a guest list that must have been miles long! :) She had Carrie and her dad and our creator as the TOP hostesses of her "welcome home" party...and ALL of our loved ones on the "other side" were there with party favors in hand! And the music? I can only imagine the music, laughter and pure LOVE!!! What an amazing reunion she must be having!!
My heart aches for you Steve and for Natalie's precious girls and family...I feel so sad knowing ya"ll are going through the horrible moments of processing all that has happened and most especially the physical absence that your hearts/souls crippling reality is filled with...please know I hold ya'll closely in my thoughts and prayers and that Natalie will help each of you find your own way to live through this tragedy encompassing your souls right now. Her Love for you and the girls is eternal and I know how much my friend loves you Steve and how blessed she felt/feels to HAVE ...love her like you Love her and showed her on a daily basis how worthy she really was to be loved unconditionally
...what a beautiful "gift" you gave her in this physical life to take with her to the "other side"...and as Natalie's friend...I "Thank You" personally hun...for giving her peace.in her soul..while she was here housed in her physical body. You truly were and will always be...Natalie's soul-mate!

I won't deny I've cried so much since I found out about this and I'm sure there will be many more tears cried in the future...how can there not be...I will always miss her physical presence because I'm human and I love her....but....there are soooo many more smiles connected to my memories of Natalie..."NaaaaaaaTaaaaaaLieeeeeeee"...lol and because of Natalie...I will celebrate her life and our paths crossed...the "knowing" in my soul that there is more than our eyes can see....will always be where I draw my strength from in my "missing her" moments...my memories are sacred and as I can hear our Natalie so clearly say..."I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN MY FRIEND! WE WILL SEE THEM AGAIN....THEY ARE ALWAYS WITH US...LOVE & LIFE ARE ETERNAL...I smile because..how can I not...she was/is a smart-wittle-fart! LOL

I Love you Natalie...Thank you friend....for everything!! Tell everyone hello! ~winks~

I could sit here and write for hours about all the times Natalie came to my rescue. I met her at my worst time and she rescued me and helped me to reconnect with my husband, proving beyond a doubt that he heard me and was always still with me. I know when she crossed he was waiting anxiously to thank her for her help.
Natalie was to me, a friend, a counselor, a life-saver and someone that helped me to survive the worst time in my life. I am forever grateful to her for everything she did for me and for all the others lives she touched.
She was a beautiful kind woman who helped so many people and all of us who came into contact her will be forever touched by her love and her spirit.
Natalie....I am devestated at the physical loss of you but I thank you for pushing me last week to read your page...I knew that it was your way of saying goodbye.
Thank you for helping me to find peace and my way back into the world again, for giving me the ability to recognize Joe's communications and for helping me find my lost dog and so many other things that if I listed them all, this would fill a novel.
You gave people hope, removed fear and gave them strength. You were and are an angel and we are better people for knowing you.
Thank you so much for everything. Please give Joe a big hug for me as I know in my heart he was waiting to say thank you to you for all you did for us.
To your family, My heart breaks as I know this overwhelming grief. I hope that it brings you some comfort to know that so many of us are praying and grieving with you.
My heart, thoughts and prayers to all of you.
Natalie was one of the most amazing people I've ever met and I am forever grateful for her friendship and for the honor of having known her.
Thank you Natalie....for all that you were, for all that you did and for allowing me the honor of walking part of this journey as your friend.
You will be forever missed and always in our hearts.

It hurts to lose her physical presence but there's no doubt in my mind that her spirit is still with us and she is whole, healthy, happy and can breathe again. She touched so many people's hearts and helped so many that there has to be a special place of peace and happiness for her now. Well done Natalie.

Natalie had a profound positive impact on my life as she did with so many others, who so greatly needed to hear her message. Her battles were many, her grace and kindness were vast and her life far too short for all of us who want to keep here. But she has been called home and will surely continue her work. The path she walked through this life left in it's wake love, peace and understanding. My sympathies to her family for their loss. She was an exceptionally beautiful person. Her love and her message will always be felt.

To Steve and All Natalie's Relatives.

It's Claudio from Italy.
I've met Natalie here during her journey to Sicily and Riccione, on March 2001.
I'm crying out of loud having known about Natalie's demise and my heart went broken in pieces.
I can only say a gigantic THANKS to Nat for the joy she gave to my family by the means of her Mediumship when she made the first contact with our son Nicola who passed when he was 6 y.o. by cancer.
She gave us our own life and our smiles back.
Natalie will always live in the memory of all the people she helped alsohere in Italy and we're among them.
My wife Francesca, my daughter Lydia and I, are very close to your Family, especial to Ally.
We had the good choice to met her when she was a little wonderful baby sleeping on her Mom's arms….

With Love & Light

Natalie entered our world with a mission...to help others with her "inner knowing" that strengthened so many people's spiritual faith. There is no greater service to mankind.

I am so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful and gifted person. I saw Natalie on several occasions to connect with my parents and brother and sister who have passed. Today 10/30 is the 4th anniversary of my brother's death from lung cancer at the age of 45 and I don't know what I would have done if I had never met Natalie. She gave me the peace and strength I needed. She will be missed by many, but her legacy will continue in everyone she has touched/helped.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Steve and the girls, I am so very sorry to hear of Natalies passing. She had been to my house so many times and to my friends that she hid her illness well. She laughed so much and shared so much about you and the girls. I know she did her best to prepare you all for this difficult time. She loves you all so very much. She will be missed by all. She'll always be with us and probably enjoying herself right now. For she was welcomed with open arms. May you find peace in your faith. I will really miss her..

To Steve, Ashley, Allie, & all of Natalie's family,
I wish I could put into words just how much appreciation I have for ever having met Natalie. The gift that she had given me, left me at peace, and put my heart at ease, and that is absolutely priceless. To know that she has done so much giving, to so many people besides myself, is absolutely amazing. Words could never describe how much I appreciated knowing her. I also look up to and respect her for the strong, caring, woman she was. Natalie just had a way about her, and I will never forget it. I admire her deeply, and am eternally grateful for being so lucky to know her. I am sure she will continue to watch over all of you, and make her love still visible.
May you all be filled with a sense of peace, just the same peace that she had given so many others during her time on this earth, myself included. You are all in my thoughts & prayers.

Sincerely, Elly Vahey

Stephen and Family- my prayers are with you all. Natalie was a special person. When Carrie and I were younger we didn't get away with a lot because she always "knew" we were up to something or Ashley would tell on us. May your memories of her help you through this sad time. She will be missed by all.

Dear Eileen, Laurie, Colleen & Family ~
Please accept my deepest sympathies.
I remember Natalie very well as a fun sweet wonderful friend to me. I used to sleep over night and go swimming at your home on Ellsworth Ave. We shared part of our childhood together. I always felt she was a special person even way back then. I am so sorry. I still can't believe it. That smile, laugh and twinkle in her eyes will live on.
Sincerely,
