Our beloved Natalie came into this world on the 9th of May 1997 eager to embrace her new life in beautiful Honolulu Hawaii. Her dad and his family are from Hiawassee, GA and her mom and her family are from Pittsburgh, PA. She lived most of her life in Augusta Georgia. From the very beginning, she loved the ocean, walking on the beach, picking up shells and making sand castles. As she grew she became more beautiful and talented in so many ways. She spent much of her time in the talented pursuit of her paintings, drawings, pottery, mosaics and especially music.  She had an angelic voice and loved to sing and play her guitar. She was also a skilled violinist and piano player.  She had more friends than we could comprehend and she cared deeply for everyone. She loved to travel. Her favorite places were (other than any beach!) the beautiful mountains of North Georgia (especially the Tallulah River), Hawaii, Pittsburgh, Sitka Alaska (dads mom lived there) with its Magic Island and most recently Colorado, New Zealand and Australia. 

She was so deeply loved by her family and friends and we miss her so much.
