I am so sorry for your loss.   Words cannot express how my heart breaks for you all.   I always loved seeing the close, costumes and unique things Natalie made over the years.   She was an amazing spirit and he memories will go on.   

Hugs to you all from me, if I can help in anyway please let me know.

I’ve tried to draft a good opening, but nothing could truly ever capture the way that Natalie would burst into someone’s life. I met her at a very low point, when I was sure I was nothing. But she always had a way of making the real you come out, and seeing every part of you for what it really was. Every chance we got we were together rambling about this interest or that, drawing each other’s characters, making up dances and songs—and this was only the first day of knowing her. Her radiance was so infectious that I just knew in my heart, if nothing else, I’d always have a space to be myself near her. Laughing, crying, loving, whatever it was, she did it with her whole heart and made space for others to do so too.

She was just so loving and accepting, it was impossible to not join in and goof around. No words could ever capture how grateful I am that I am able to know and love someone like her. And I hope she knows that even in Arcadia, even in the clouds, Natalie will always be loved. 

Hunt Family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss of such a bright, beautiful and loved sister and daughter. I never got to meet her personally but from Rodney’s posts of her beaming personality and talent, I felt I knew a piece of her. My thoughts, love and prayers are with your family.

Love Rebecca Smith
