Words cannot express how heartbroken I am about Natalie’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you Jay and Nancy. Natalie played a substantial role in my high school years and I cared for her very, very much. She was the most incredible woman I have ever known in my life. She was kind-hearted and that smile could brighten you up on your worst day! Nancy, you were like a second mother to me and I will never forget that!
March 21, 2011
Nancy, I was so sorry to hear about that precious Natalie. Enjoyed talking with her so much at work. When the journey into God's presence requires a departure; it brings sorrow to the ones that remain. May your many cherished memories be a continued help in the coming days and difficult times. I pray for you a peace that surpasses all understanding.
