Nat,
Another year and the day in February you left us gets no easier. It never will Your passing reminds us daily to take care of the people and pets we love, to take nothing for granted and that people with zero in common often have a common bond. We miss you, your smile, your happy attitude and wide smile and your 'call it like you see it' view of life The orange balloons drifted slowly off into the beautiful blue sky yesterday but you will always be with us. We miss you and love you,
Becky

I (Keziah's Husband) happened to come across this site by accident today. I scrolled through the loving notes and found the one my wife had written. I found myself thinking of all the times since your passing that Keziah has looked at your picture or shared a story with me. I want to share that though the pain is still in the hearts of so many that have known you it is telling how much more the hearts are filled with love. The measure of a person is not what they take away from this world but what they left behind. It is obvious that you are immeasurable. As my wife stated on Feb 18, 2005 we look forward to seeing you in another life because nothing special ever truelly passess on.
From our family to yours.

2 years.....I feel like I am still living in a fog. This can't be true, one of these days I am going to wake up and it will all be a bad dream.
I miss you so much. It is still very hard when I think about the kids growing up without Aunt Nat. Laci was just talking to you on her phone this morning. Maybe gone but definitely not forgotten.
Erik is doing such a great job with the dogs. I know you'd be proud. There aren't words to describe how much he misses you, the words just don't exist. I wish there is something I can do to ease his pain, even just a little. Keeping my promise to you is all I can do I guess.
I love you and miss you. Always know, that you will forever have a special place in my heart that only a sister can keep.

Love you, miss you, nobody will ever forget you.

my dearest Nat,
two years and it still hurts just as much as the day i got the news. i came by today...i wanted to just lay there and let the world pass by. i wanted to feel the peace that i hope will someday come, but for now i wait...i can't even begin to tell you how much i miss you, your laugh, your smile, every supportive word you've ever uttered my way, and especially you. just you! i miss you with all my soul, with every aching bone in my body. this pain dwells in my bones and tears my heart ever so slowly. i sit here crying, praying, wishing that two years ago today never happened, that that phone call was never made, that you were still here with us.
until we meet again my dear sweet Nat-I LOVE YOU and carry you with me every where i go....
xoxo-Lorraine

Hello Nat, Once again I can only write to you in spirit. I hope you have been watching Phoebe. She is still in love with her passion for Flyball. You definately found her calling when you got her involved in flyball. She has excelled beyond your wildest dreams. I know she misses her Mom but her Dad is doing a great job with both of the kids. Erik even hangs up all her awards in the office. Life definately has not been the same without you. I think of you often and miss you so very much. I wish you could have met Skye she is Cillain's female twin. She will be my third flyball red dog -GO RED DOGS!!! :)with Nigel the cheerleader. I wish things were different and you could be here with us. Until we meet again in the next wave, we will keep you in our thoughts and hearts - LOVE ALWAYS your friends, Christy, Harvey, and Cilliain Munro and of course your son Steve (MEOW) Chambers

My dear Nat, I am sitting here in tears reading the comments written by your friends. Some of them you never met. They would have loved you as we all do. Not did, do love you. That will never stop and someday we will be together again. In the meantime I miss you terribly and think of you constantly. Tomorrow is the first anniversary of your death and some of us are meeting at the cemetary. I hope it is to celebrate your life but I also know it will be hard to live with the fact that you are gone. I still want to hear you laugh again, probably at something silly. I know how much it will hurt.
I have been told that after a year we will have been through a complete annual cylcle of birthdays, anniversaries and holidays and the pain will be lessened. I haven't found that to be true so far. I doubt it will ever be true. As I sit here there is a picture of you in your Santa hat on Mom's table and a blow up of you with the dillibobs (or is it dildobobs?) on your head at that party. I'm glad it's blown up to the point that only a small shadow of purple shows on your head. But the smile is you and you alone. I love you and miss you.

Hey Nat,
I know that you are gone, but last week I saw an orange vw and a lady with brown curly hair, and I almost lost it. I hit the brakes so fast just to avoid an accident I was about to cause. I swore it was you, I wanted it to be you, I cried when it wasn't you. I don't want to dwell in a pond of sadness, but what else is there? I enjoy each day, but not a single moment passes that I don't think of you. I keep waiting to feel that breath of fresh air, that breath of knowing everything will be okay, but that breath of air still has not come for me. I'll continue to wait for it, but until then I'll hold my breath, just long enough to feel your friendship once more. I'll see you in the sliding glass of time. Love you always, Lorraine

Dearest Nat,
I cannot believe its been six months since your departure, I say departure because I am still waiting for you to return. Hopeless I must sound but it's all too surreal. I look at your pictures and laugh, I think of your jokes and cry, I pray to be near you to know that I will see you again. It's hard to comprehend that such a wonderful person can be taken so soon, too soon if you ask me. I cry almost everyday and try to be strong, but its so hard. I can remember the first day I saw you, all our conversations keep playing over in my head. I'll see something, anything and automatically want to tell you about it. There are so many memories, so many thoughts that I want to share with you. I miss giving you that look and you always knowing our secret spot to talk, just so I could vent or make a joke. So many people miss you and love you, we all want one more day with you, one more chance to say I love you, one more moment with you! I've yet to visit you, perhaps its my denial or perhaps its the fact I am not ready to know that you are never coming back. I have to wait a lifetime to see you once more, a lifetime of memories, of secrets, of parties, of you always being happy for me. The one of many things I loved about you, was your happiness. You never once faked your happiness. It was always so real, so true, SO PURE. An event will happen and I always say, the one person I know who would be over joyed for me is no longer here. And that kills me. My heart hurts so much and its hard to share that with people because unless they met you they would never know how wonderful you are. I feel sorry for the rest of the world that didn't get a chance to meet you. And for that reason it makes knowing the fact that I knew you even more special. I'll see you in my dreams. I love you.
Lorraine

Hey Natalie- I just wanted to let you know that the 3 Day was a great success! We all raised our money and were able to walk, with a team total of just over $19,000! The bright orange shoelaces that Jami found definetly got us noticed and made it much easier to find one another in the crowds. Your team did so awesome with only a few blisters and a couple minor injuries that will surely heal with time and rest. I can't say the same for our broken hearts, however. We still miss you like crazy and just wanted you to be there with us instead of walking in your memory. You truly did make a difference every second of every day in every life you touched. I am proud to have been a part of your team, if only in spirit, and to have the opportunity to make a difference in honor of you.

Tell me Nat, how do I balance the loss of you, a great friend, with your love for life. One minute I want to celebrate the life you lived and the next I want to grieve the loss of a great spirit and friend. I got used to seeing you almost every other day. You are one of a few people who understood the dog way of thinking, the color of life (orange of course with a little purple added in :) and had a zest for life I had never seen before. You touched my life in more ways than I can explain. Not to mention my dogs. Harvey wouldn't be where he is today without his mentor Obi. Cilliain is a changed boy after spending all that time traveling in your car to and from class and the lazy days wandering through Marymoor Park. Flyball is not the same without our partners in Crime. I miss seeing your kids and all your creative endeavors from quilting to painting a Red, white and blue bathroom -lol Erik is doing the best he can with the kids you must be impressed with all he has done to make there lives as close to being with you as possible, even the cat children are well loved.
It is still hard for me to comprehend that one minute can change all of our lives so dramatically. YOU ARE DEARLY MISSED !!!!!!!!!! We welcome you back anytime. Until we meet again - I keep you in my thoughts and in my heart. A true friend is a rare find and I want to hold on to that. - Christy, Harvey and Cilliain

I still can't believe you're gone. It has been 21weeks and 3 days since I've seen you smile or heard you laugh. I'd give anything to give you one more hug and tell you how much you mean to me. I will miss the influence you were supposed to have on Kobi and Laci. They need their Aunt Nat! Kobi is still asking to see you. The promises I made to you will always stay close to my heart.
Erik, I wish there was something I could do to take your pain away even just a little. Mike and I will always be here for you. You are my friend and I love you.
Karen and Bruce, you are two of the most incredible people I know. I can't tell you how much you've helped me over the last 5 months. I'm blessed to have you in my life. I'm only a short drive away any time you need to cry, laugh, or just remember. She loved you both very much!
Brian, just remember I'm here for you too! She wanted so much for you to find someone and be happy. She was very proud of her big brother.
I'm not ready to say goodbye. I love you and I miss you

I will turn 50 in August and seeing someone so young die truly saddens me.
I did not read all but some of the messages here. She truly must have been loved very much.

My Nat, You my love were the best thing that ever happen to me. My mind is so full of great memories we shared in the short seven years we had together. You made me complete in ways I never thought possible. We shared a true love together that most never find in thier life. A friend told me that I lost my life that tragic day as well and I am starting a new life now. I guess I never thought of it that way and just want my old life back. I will never foget you, and untill I see you at those pearly gates I will go on cherishing all of those great memories I have. I miss you so much.

Hey Natalie- life is so unfair! I still can't believe (and probably never will) that I am never going to see your beautiful face again. Your energy, your vitality, your spark, your presence was so infectious that it is still a shock to me that you will not be here to spread your love of life to all of us. You leave such a void in this world and you will be forever missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family, Erik, and Christy and Heidi. I think of you everyday, but instead of thinking of how much you are missed here, I try to think of all the fun you are having with Obi again. I know he must have been over the moon to see you!

Eirk, Cousins Bruce, Karen, and Brian: My deepest sympathy goes out to you as move on without your Natalie. I too, remember those trips to Iowa when we were kids, playing in that huge house or going to my grandparents...it always seemed that when you were home we just became a BIGGER family. I was nice to have seen everyone at the reunion and met the extensions to your family. I have learned something from my donor family. When they lost their daughter, they too were devistated; but comfort came to them with prayer and by doing things that she would have done. Continue to do the things that Natalie would have done, as that will always keep her close to you in spirit. She was a wonderful young lady, and will be missed. My thoughts, prayers and support is never far away. God Bless you all. Love Tracy

Im terribly sorry about Natalies passing. After this accident it makes me, and several others who have heard about this remember how precious life is, and to enjoy it every day. When I got home from work after hearing what had happened, I just wanted to cling on to Jason and the girls, and never let go. I can't imagine what you all are going through, but i know its hard.
After the service I got to thinking a lot about what Scott, Natalies friend said about if you love somebody, tell them, dont assume that they know. I am now making sure I tell each person I love, that I DO love them, because I would hate to loose them and not have a chance to tell them.
Erik I love you, and Brian you too.

Now one ever had to wonder how you felt about anything, because you weren't afraid to speak your mind...Loud and Clear. It is comforting to know that you were with good friends on a beautiful day having fun on your last day hear with us. I miss you. We all miss you so much.
All who believe in God's mercy and grace Will meet their loved ones face to face where time is endless and joy unbroken And only the words of love are spoken. I will pray for God to ease the pain and dry the tears of those that held you so dear. Love Celinda

I have fond memories of growing up with Natalie. And although it has been many years since I have last seen her it does not make it any less painful to hear of the loss of an old friend. I remember playing with Natalie when we were little and we were friends in high school. I even went to Gene Juarez several times when she was in school so that she had a new head of hair to practice on. I am glad that I was blessed to know her and I keep her family in my prayers. Thank you Natalie for letting me be your friend.

Natalie, you have been such an inspiration in my world. When I was just a new assistant at the AEC 6 years ago, you were always there with encouragement, a laugh, or a "what are you doing!" when I was screwing something up! I learned so much from you while I was there and I have carried so many of your "quirks" along with me into my own career as a technician. Most importantly I carried along my memories of our friendship and those are something that I'll never lose. It breaks my heart to be so far away from my old friends right now. I'll miss you Nat... until we meet again.

Our hearts and prayers go out to you. It is so hard to comprehend that she is gone because she was always so vibrant. From her vivid blue eyes, 1,000 watt smile, and infectious personality, she always lit up the room and drew people in. I often think of the Ladies Reno Trip and the fun her and I had learning and playing craps. And the time we spent people watching. She was always so hilarious to be with. And she made you feel comfortable and special when you were with her.
She will be incredibly missed. Our hearts break for your loss. Psalm 34:18 says that "God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." We pray He will ever be close to you during this time.

It is hard to find the words for the sorrow I feel;
Sitting, crying, upset not knowing how to deal;
With this loss, my friend, held close to my heart;
Miss you dearly even though we’ve grown apart;
The older we got the easier it was not to call;
The busier our lives got, reminiscing wasn’t important at all;
But it was, NO, it is and I will never forget the times we had;
You are forever my friend even though your loss is sad;
You have touched us all with the kindness of a true friend;
You have made me stronger, I know well meet again;
We will once again play war games as if time stood still;
All besting one another to be queen of the hill;
We will meet again my “Friend” this I know to be true;
As I sit now smiling, in Remembrance of You:

And who could forget our first trip to the Three Dog Bakery where we took funny pictures of Phoebe all dressed up and Steven and Obi stole barbecue snacks from behind the bakery counter?! Thank you to you and Erik for taking such good care of Steven whenever I had to be out of town. He adored his Auntie Natalie and spending time with Phoebe. I know Steven was a pain in the butt for you Erik, but I also know you asked when he was coming to stay again.:) Nat, watching you with Obi and Phoebe, I learned how to become a great dog mom. I (and Steven and Gatsby) will be forever grateful for that. You made a real difference in my life. Erik, Karen, Bruce, and Brian, my deepest condolences go out to you.

Nat, I have no doubt you'd laugh at me sitting here puzzling over what to write, because you've seen this look on my face frequently in the 7 years we've been friends. Really, I don't think anyone here has had such an impact on my young life as you. You were there if I had a question, or a joke to share, or simply wasn't feeling well to answer, laugh, or comfort. And by the same token, you kept me in line, because you took no crap. You've always been here, right where I could find you should I need to. And now you're somewhere else, and I can't laugh with you, or roll my eyes with you at something someone said. It hurts to think I'll never hear "Um, well, YEAH!" ring through the clinic, followed by your laughter. I hope you know I loved you for who you were, and for all you tolerated from a kid like me. You rock my world, and made it that much better. Thanks for caring so much for so many, including me. You'll never be gone, just somewhere else. It's too quiet without you. I love you lots, Natalie, and I'll miss you every day.

We will always remember her quick wit, upbeat personality, talking a mile a minute and beautiful smile.

I read the book "Angels Among Us" and my favorite chapter was about "Colt" a young man that told his mom when he died he wanted to be an eagle and he passed away a few years ago and since that time people close to him keep finding feathers in places that eagles wouldn't be in so I know Natalie too will be with us and we too will find signs of her presence. Remember she is away on a trip and we will see her again. Our love and prayers to all of you and a big hug to "Phoebe" from her "Grandma" Britney the wonder dog. Love the Wellmans

Natalie, I had so much fun working with you at the Salon. You had a way of making each day brighter. Even Saturday mornings. Donald and I thought you and Erik would be cute together. Little did we know you would be GREAT together. Erik, there are no words to express our sorrow at the loss of Natalie. We will keep you and your family's in our prayers.

Erik,
I also lost my spouse at about your age. Looking back, I know much of what you will go through. It's hard to believe, but it will get easier. Start a journal, writing about your memories and your sorrow. Never stop yourself from crying.
It's been 17 years, but I still talk to him. I ask him what I should do when I'm confused and I ask for comfort when I'm down. You will learn that she can never really leave you. When you need her, just look for that part of her in you.
Never say to yourself "I should be over this by now." This is not something to get over. It is something to live through till the time comes when you can smile while remembering her.
Our tears and prayers are with you.

Our family will never be the same with Natalie gone. I have some wonderful childhood memories of Natalie. One summer Natalie, Brian my brother Kirk an myself went to our grandparents house in small town Whittemore Iowa, to a farm,to hang out with Grandma Helen and Grandpa Bert. They were having a well being dug and our Grandma told us to stay out of the mud that was being dug up. We finally convinced her to let us get our feet muddy. Pretty soon it went from our feet to being covered in mud. Was a blast! We used to play hidenseek in our grandparents big house for hours. They also had wooden floors upstairs and we would drag each other around. One Christmas Natalie's family and my family went to Grandma and Grandpas house. The electricity went out and it was darn cold. We all had to hang out in the kitchen. That same trip Natalie and myself would hang out and play with Strawberry shortcake. My love for Natalie and my memories of her will be with me always. Aunt Karen, Uncle Bruce, Brian and Erik my heart, thoughts and prayers will be with you. Please know that we are here for you back in po-dunk Whittemore Iowa.

To my Son –
These are the hardest words I have ever written and they can’t begin to express the feelings of deep sorrow and sadness I feel with you. I know the loving bond you two had and know it will remain unbroken. This is one thing in life I could not have prepared you for and would not have known how, but I’m always here for you to see you through what ever comes our way. I love you son, stay strong and always reflect on the great life you had together.
To Karen and Bruce, Brian and family -
May I express my deepest sympathy and condolences. Your daughter gave so much life and happiness to my son and on the day she took his name it made him the proudest and happiest man on earth. And now in her parting has made it his and your saddest. I’m so proud to say she was part of the Chambers family, she will be sorely missed.
To other friends and acquaintances –
Thank you for your kind support and may the mere thought of her always bring on happiness and put a smile on your face.
... we'll miss you Nat

Nat, I cant believe all the years we were friends, and how lucky I am to have known you. We met in seventh grade and made that horrible perfume for a class project. You were there for so many firsts in my life and I dont know who I would be today without all the time I spent with you and your family. Although we havent spent a lot of time together in recent years, I dont think there was a week I didnt have some thought of you to make me laugh. It is so hard to believe it is time to say goodbye. All the years of private jokes and secret adventures will live on in my heart and that is where I will find you until we meet again in heaven.

I don't even know where to beginn. We love you and will forever keep you close to our hearts. You are probably the most amazing, beautiful spirit I ever met. I love your willfulness, compassion and strengh. Your humor is something else as well. Thanks for rubbing some of on Lenah whenever you where with us. She has so much spunk, humor, personality and love... just like you. She reminds us of you every single day. Fire and Ice, I think that describes you well:) You have touched my life so much more than you could ever imagined. You truly changed my life and always inspired me to be more. I could go on and on now, but I know your ready to keep going. I see you running with Obi, my Dana and all the others through the most beautiful flower fields, laughing and singing your Hippopotamus song. Waving at us, telling me it will be ok and you'll be there taking care of everyone until we get there.
Bye dear friend,

Have fun, and don't rock the boat too much up there. I don't know if they're quite ready for you. I know we were not ready for you to go yet.

Granted he's only 4 months and you are 30, thats OK by me.
You will never be "gone" to me, your in my life, your every where I look-from the orange to the funny, clumsy events that happen to me in my life that I always tell you about and you just look at me and laugh.
I will see you again one day, I'm glad your still watching out for because you of all people know no one else will the way you always have.
I Love You,

Thank you for all the love and hard work you put forth for all of the animals in the world. I would have done the same to save my animal.

Though bittersweet now, I am both proud and honored that you and Erik gave me an opportunity to be persuasive on a subject that wasn't mine to even comment on. I wish we could have seen it through. Your openness and candor were refreshing and appreciated, I can't emphasize that enough. There aren't enough people like you in this world and it's a real shame. We will miss you terribly but we'll always cherish the fun times we shared. As for little Honey-dip, Dean and I will do whatever we can to help him through this. We love you both!!

Charlie was extremely critical and my wife and I were comforted when we met her by how she really cared about Charlie. We feel that Charlie could sense the love and care that was in Natalie which helped him make it through those two days.

I missed when she left the salon..but knew she was doing the right thing. Animals were her life and passion. She worked on my big boy Moose after he was hit by a car and it was amazing to see her in her element. We are all better for having known such a soul and I find great peace knowing she is at the Bridge with smile on her face. My heart goes out to Erik and family...she will be missed.

My sympathies and thoughts are with Erik and the rest of Natalie's family. I am co-captain of the Jet City Jumpers, the flyball team that Natalie joined just a few short months ago. She had such a wonderful time running Phoebe along with Christy and Cillian that it is hard to believe she won't be back next week at practice. Just one week ago she helped me by running my girl Jadzia while I ran my other dog, and that was the first time Jadzia had ever let someone else run her, which goes to show how well Natalie worked with animals. While I only knew her for a short time, I grieve for the loss of such a kind person who loved her animals and her husband so much. We will always remember her, and I hope that once Phoebe is healed that she will join us to earn her titles as Natalie was so looking forward to.

Your Mom and I were looking at old pictures tonight and we sure had a few good laughs. There were some of you with a dress on, hippo slippers and various other outfits. I have to say you were so such a wonderful person all your life. I keep seeing those orange tights at the wedding and I can laugh.
