May God grant His strength and courage to Steve and Natalie\'s family at this sorrowful time. I\'m sure there are many more who will dearly miss this truly caring, giving and inspirational lady of the light!
I believe, and feel sure that Natalie was carried Home on angel\'s wings and a great celebration began in Heaven as tender spirit souls would hear, know and happily welcome one of their own back to the fold of the Lord\'s holiest heart!
May peace and love live in your hearts as it did with Natalie-- as you remain in our Father God\'s care and the calm of His light forever!
