FAMILY TRIBUTE

Natalie was so much more than a loving mother, daughter, sister, relative, girlfriend, and friend—she was a creative, passionate, and strong-willed firecracker of a woman who left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. She was thoughtful. She was kind. She was supportive. She wanted nothing more than the best for her children and family, and anyone that knew her would agree. Many of her loved ones will remember her for her quick wit and sense of humor. She had the ability to walk into a room and have everyone laughing within minutes. She found ways to relate to others and make anyone feel comfortable. There was always something to talk about with Natalie. She was genuinely interested in getting to know about others and their journeys. Perhaps Natalie's most admirable quality was her resilience. Her ability to find strength despite difficult circumstances was second to none. She faced more adversity than most people will experience during their lifetime, but always found the willpower to move forward with grace. She was so proud of this, as were we. There are too many things about Natalie that we will miss, but most of all, our family will miss her unapologetic sense of humor, her effortless positivity, and her creative spirit. We love you so much and miss you forever, Nat.
