To The Family Of Natalie

To the family of Natalie, Me and my family visited Natalie today. We were visiting my Dad this weekend who is right around the corner from Natalie (Richard Swiger - black head stone on the field side). My Dad also has a Turning Hearts QR code on his stone and as we were driving around we noticed Natalie's. Natalie is a beautiful young lady with a beautiful family that loves her so much. We enjoyed scrolling through all her pictures, learning all about her, and all her future dreams and accomplishments. Thank you for sharing and keeping her memory alive. ❤️ Melissa Marshall

My Sweet Girl

You will always be my first baby. The one who made me a mom. Living without you is hell on earth. You made me so proud to be your mom. You were smart, kind, beautiful and the strongest person I have ever known. You fought so hard for 2 months with a smile on your face everyday. There are signs of you every where and I look for you in all the beauty that remains.
