It is hard to believe that today is the one year anniversary of Natalie's passing. My family still thinks of her often. On Mother's Day, I visited the site. I sat at the stairs and said a prayer. It was snowing, but when I looked up I saw the most beautiful rainbow over the ski hill. It was if Natalie was saying she was okay.

To Natalie's Mother and Family,
I wrote a you a letter about the last minutes of Natalie's life.I hope you received it and it gave you some comfort.

I never knew her close but Natalie is one of the best girls to walk the face of this earth every where she went I know she did great things and made the world a better place. Forever rest in peace your friend Justin Finger

Dr. Beth and family,

Dr. Marcincoski,

I am so truly sorry to learn about your daughter's tragic accident.  I remember talking with you about her as she is the same age as my daughter.  I am so very sorry for your loss and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Todd, Kristi, Taylor, Austin, and Madison Cropper

So sorry I have to write this and you have to read it.  Bruce, I'm so sorry about the loss of your precious Natalie.  She is certainly one in a million.  I remember a couple of stories you told me about her.  The first story was a cute one about your plucky little daughter's encounter with a couple of mean girls in elementary school.  She didn't back down and wasn't intimidated.  She had no qualms about making her feelings known.  Back then, you were attempting to explain about taking the high road to her.  

A couple years back, you showed me a picture of her wearing a dress she designed out of newspaper which contained articles written about one of her teachers.  That was one of the most seriously cool things I'd ever seen.  She looked like a million dollars wearing her creation and what an amazing idea it was.  

She was truly beautiful inside and out.  May her glowing spirit bathe you in it's warm light and may God hold you and yours in the palm of His hand during these dark days.

Condolences and peace to you and yours,

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Altieri and family,
We were so very saddened to learn that Natalie passed away recently.  While many of us did not know her personally, we certainly feel your pain.  Our hearts go out to you!  I co-oped and graduated from U.C.'s DAAP program and was a U.C. Kappa as well, so I feel a connection to Natalie.   May God strengthen you and your family during this most difficult time.  May He also bless you with His comfort and His peace beyond all understanding.  We will continue to keep you all in our prayers.  
In Christ's love,
Diane S. Bishop and the Cincinnati Alumnae Association of Kappa Kappa Gamma

Dr.beth and Family,We are so sadden to here about your loss.Our prays are with you and your family.

Beth, although I had never met your daughter our family is also grieving for your loss this week, my son Zac loved your girl, she was his friend from UC. May God comfort your family today and the days ahead. I pray you will also find comfort in knowing you raised a beautiful woman who touched so many lives. She will forever live on in their hearts. We are so sorry for your loss.

Dr. Beth, Mr. Altieri, Audrey, Chris, Erin, Tate and Leighton,
Although Natalie and Audrey do not know me, and I regretfully do not know them very well, I have grown up awing at both of their inward and outward beauty. Wishing often I could be like them, I remember vividly the natural and nurturing role Natalie took with the kids during VBS throughout both of our high school years helping facilitate. I am still shaken by her tragic death and am in awe of Audrey's strength to persevere and memorialize her beautiful sister online and in the media the way she has. I know for all the sorrow and unrest Natalie's death has given me, it is incomparable to what you all are feeling now. I will surely miss seeing Natalie's beautiful face alongside you all in church.  If any good could possibly come from this, I, as I know many others, have learned to live life to the fullest just as Natalie did. Truly God does not allow us to leave this earth before our purpose is fulfilled. Some achieve that sooner than others. 

A beautiful quote to keep in mind: 
"When we are born, we cry and the world rejoices. When we die, the world cries and we rejoice." 

Know that Natalie is rejoicing and has no suffering. 

I truly have no words for your family. God bless you all.

Dr. Beth,
Thank you for the wonderful care you have given my children over the years.  We are all thinking of you and your family during this time of unthinkable grief.  May you find peace and comfort in the wonderful memories you have of Natalie.
Love, The Pugh Family (Julie, Jason, Jessalyn, and Max)

Dear Altieri family, I had the great honor of having Natalie in Study Hall at Jackson High School. She was one of the nicest, sweetest girls I have ever met. She was a real joy to get to know .  Her life yet short, will live on in all of us at Jackson High School!!  We will miss her, but will be glad that we had her in our lives!!!  Sincerely,  Becky Brown/ Jackson High School

We are so very saddened and sorry to learn of Natalie's passing.  Not only will we fondly remember her beautiful voice and her million dollar smile, we will remember her zest for life.  We treasure our memories from Jacks-N-Jill's days when she and Christina sang together.

We will miss her very much.  Our hearts are with you all.

Natalie was such a sweet, smart young woman. I had her in class her freshman year and never forgot how serious she was about design. She will always be one of my favorite students. My sympathy and condolences to you all.
