Nikki,
I was so sad to hear of Natalie's death. I know how your heart hurts. I am so sorry for the loss of your child.
Our hearts go out to you and your family. We can not imagine the pain and emptiness you all feel. May God bless and give you peace in the days ahead.
My dear sweet Natalie...it was only yesterday that was babysitting you and then you babysat my Chad. You were everything you weren't suppose to be, so full of life, always a smile...then a mother. I know you will watch over your precious children. My Jesus wrap his arms around you! Forever in my heart.

I just watched the video memorial and was very touched by those expressful eyes and bright smile of Natalies that I remember so well from long ago. She was always so sweet! My thoughts and prayers are with you and all Natalie's family members. I know she lived in love, may she rest in peace.
Jim and Niki my thought and prayers are with you both. Love you Ronda
Nikki and Jimmy, we are sorry for the loss of your daughter. Can't even imagine what that would be like. You if need us, call. You are in our prayers.
Nicki, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
No words can express how sorry that I am about your loss. Natalie was truly one of a kind. She would always listen, but she spoke her mind. Maybe, that is why we got along so well. I will never forget the time when she came home with me and it was snowing and she didn't have a jacket on and I gave her grief. She took it in stride and listened to me but she never wore a coat.
Nicki, We are so sorry to hear about Natalie and wish we could be there to tell you in person.
I know it has to be beyond description to lose a child. Praying that you might have strength, peace and God's blanket of mercy. I've always felt He gives us what we need at the time we need it, so that will be our prayer for the family during this hard time.
Love you, Doug and Carolyn

Nicki,

Dear Nikki,
My heart breaks for you. I am so sorry for your loss. Losing our children is so very, very hard. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am with you in spirit, dear one.
I am so sorry to hear about Natalie's passing. Natalie was always so friendly and upbeat, despite her disability. She lived down the street from my parents, so I would frequently see her riding by in her motorized chair, always taking the time to stop and chat and ask about my family, and proudly tell me about hers. My family and I will miss Natalie. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Nicki, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely, Susan
nicki and the meadows family, i am sorry to hear about natalie. my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
