As spring comes to the northern hemisphere, I always feel sad as it reminds me of when we lost you and the fact that I won’t be able to celebrate your favorite day - your birthday - with you any longer. You will always be my favorite birthday diva. I continually reflect on and cherish our time together.

Every time I open this site a certain sadness settle in . It’s her picture .
Smiling is the way I remember and always will remember her. .
That is a good thing . I am very impressed with the fact that after many years many friends have not forgotten her . She was a good genuine person who had friends for life . As I do every year, today I am wearing socks with her favorite color : wearing pink socks is a bit strange for a man , but I like it . Je te dis bonjour Natalie . Je t’aime et tu me manque .

Last week, a few days short of the 9th anniversary of Natalie's death, "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid began playing where I was. I instantly dissolved into tears, remembering all the dozens (hundreds?) of times we had watched the movie together when she was little. But I also felt relief and gratitude with the tears of sadness because Natalie will always be part of my world and the worlds of all the people who knew and loved her. Natalie made a difference, and we who knew her were lucky indeed.

My Dear Precious Natalie,
Where did those 9 years ago? We've not gotten over you being taken from the World so suddenly...we have just gotten through it by reminding ourselves that you are in a place where you can rest.
I love this photo of you all dolled up in Las Vegas at your Dad and Basia's wedding many years ago.
And the other photo is some art that reminds me of your work so I bought it.. your were so creative!
Love you, Sweetie

"...,I too have a bipolar diagnosis and over the past 15 years it has been a nightmare. I did not know Natalie, but I have read about her journey living with this dreadful disease."
Wow , I haven't posted a tribute in five years, but it seems like yesterday that I came across this tribute to Natalie. Natalie , I know you are in heaven,
but I fee l a keen sense of connection to you , even though we've never met.
The rest of the world is just now coming to understand just how debilitating mental health is, especially Bipolar disease. I live with it everyday. I think of you and am amazed to read all the tributes to you.
I feel as if I have known you through the tributes attributed to you. Keep many spots for your family in heaven (me too) , as we all will feel the embrace of Christ soon. This to will pass.

We all remember and loved our Natalie in different ways. But this is a tribute to the incredible mother of Natalie, Doris. Through all the highs and lows of Natalie's illness, Doris embraced the journey and with her love and understanding and support, helped Natalie persevere through incredible odds. Doris and Natalie had a beautiful and everlasting bond. Doris, never doubt that you were the perfect mother for Natalie and I believe she knew you were her rock. I love you for loving Natalie.

I've always believed that the quality of human beings is revealed by the people they attract and love and by those who love them.
As Natalie's mother, it gives me comfort and joy to see so many vivid memories and kind words about dear sweet Nat, already five years since she died. It reminds me that Natalie always attracted and was surrounded by people with good hearts who she loved and who love her still.
I am grateful to every single one of you for your memories, your photos and your continuing love. These are the ultimate ongoing tribute to how deeply Natalie touched our lives and why she truly is forever missed.

Dear Natalie,
I well remember the day YOU chose to make your grand appearance-- April 17, 1986....We all were so anxious for your upcoming arrival....I think the Doctor had predicted you would come on March 30, but you had other plans. After a slow start off the mark, you quickly made up time. I remember that at about 4 months you could roll all over the family room. You got really good at rolling right over to where Greg had his toys set up just so, and proceeded to invite yourself to play...much to his distress. Even then you didn't let a little thing like only being an infant stop you from reaching your goal which was a repeating theme throughout your life. You squeezed out every second of your time here on earth and gave much joy to others.. we miss you terribly, but can now smile when we remember you instead of only being sad .
Love
Helenjo and Family

I miss Natalie everyday when something hilarious or sad or exciting or mundane happens I’m tempted to pick up the phone and tell her all about it. She was the first friend I think I ever made who I realized loved me for me - exactly the way that I was. Our friendship wasn’t always rainbows and sunshine but we always respected each other and would have moved mountains to be there for each other. I learned so much from Natalie and I am a better person because of knowing her. I miss her laugh, her positivity, her courage, and her special way about her. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years - it took me quite some time to finally come to terms with losing her. The loss taught me so much but the void is still there. I try to honor her in all that I do and know she would be so happy to see me as a dog mom, wife, and advocate for mental health. My heart is with all of those who loved her today and always.

Dear Sweet Natalie
I think of you often at the most random times...I'll see a piece of artwork or sculpture and the art that you created flashes through my mind. Or I will see someone with a megawatt smile and your beautiful face will flash through my thoughts. Or I'll see a photograph of you and remember what was happening at that moment. Memories of you are so strong and happy.
Your dad is on an odyssey again to a far away land, so he left a few of his most prized possessions with us that he couldn't take along....one is the framed photo of the two of you that I posted here....such a strong bond that he had with you is evident in this photo and that it is one of his few treasures.
Love,
The Thorpes

You are in our thoughts and prayers, dear Doris and family, on Sweet Natalie's 4th rebirthday , March 14. Her smile is still lighting up our memories of her.... every visit with Natalie was an adventure to be remembered.....from her long-awaited birth(!) and throughout her childhood....she somehow managed to turn every visit into a whimsical time.... even as an honoured guest at Katie Roses's and Mike's wedding.
She, with your help, love, determination, and devotion fought a courageous battle for many years and helped countless people with her honesty about her mental illness. Nobody sets out or chooses to be a poster child for mental illness, but Natalie handled it with grace and finesse and let the World know that it is nothing to be ashamed of by giving those with mental illness a face of dignity by her example. She held her head up high and in the end, embraced who she was. We can't even fathom what impact her legacy will have for years to come.
The Thorpe family is blessed to have precious Natalie in our lives. For the last 4 years she has been able to have a well-deserved rest. I like to think that she is at peace creating her art and blessing those souls around her.
Take care
We love you all dearly

I knew it was today (yesterday), I'm still awake...somehow I knew. It may always haunt me as, long as I live, as a precursor right before my birthday.
The news of her passing was some of the most painful I have ever heard or felt. It has gotten easier to handle, over time, as many losses and changes do, in this life. But the occasional overwhelm of emotion cannot be avoided, like a punch in the gut, a terror exploded within the mind.
A song came on, a day or so ago, I have heard before. But this time it was from her, and tears welled and could not be stopped as the lyrics through voice became a message without choice. And I wept uncontrollably on my way to work, at the beauty of such Love lost, such closeness released, such knowing understood, such a friendship, such a bond...broken.
However, as I type this now, a box just beneath my hands slightly falls, without any other provocation that can be explained. It once held gifts sent to me from her, it still bears her handwriting; she is still here. Never again in the selfish way that once knew and wished to keep, but forever in any way that I or so many who loved her may need.
So missed is she who could no longer remain less than everything.

In reading the last pages of Agatha Christie’s autobiography yesterday, her reflection that “whatever has existed still does exist in eternity” was a gift from the literary gods.
Today is the 4th anniversary of Natalie’s death. My heart will never again be whole. Yet, for all the crater she left in my life and so many lives, because we remember her and because she touched and even transformed our lives, she is still with us.
That is the greatest comfort.
ForeverMissed is where we can still savor her megawatt smile and unquenchable spirit with others who miss her. I am grateful it exists for that and forever grateful for all of you who loved her with me.
Godspeed.

A Natalie a Birthday Memory
April 18, 2019
by Zibby Keaton
Natalie took birthdays seriously, especially her own. Better put, Natalie took her birthday seriously. She was a bit of a birthday diva. Doris also took Natalie’s birthday very seriously as well. Turning 16 was a big birthday for Natalie and her and Doris planned an elaborate scavenger hunt all through Sandpoint - I think there were about sixteen girls making up four teams of four. I should add, they were very competitive girls.
At the end of the scavenger hunt, we were literally sprinting to get to the finish line at the city beach. I can’t remember if my team won but a fight broke out because my team had not listened to the rules and ruined the game.
Natalie and Doris were a bit upset because they had worked so hard but the mistake didn’t let it ruin this great day. I think a few of us had a slumber party that night and stole Ken’s booze - sorry, Ken.
I used to spend most of Natalie’s birthdays with her and she with me. She came to visit me in college for one of her birthdays and we spent one of my birthdays in Paris together. Before she died I was going to suggest she come to NYC for her birthday. I still regret not asking sooner.
Hope you planned something elaborate this year Natalie;it is your Jesus year and I imagine you should be taking it very seriously.

I love this picture. It makes me happy to remember her when she was well.
She loved everyone. On this picture she loved Joelle, Carole and most of all her
dear mum.
Natalie was well when that picture was taken. We had fun together and I miss her.
Natalie had great friends that are still in touch today. Time makes it easier but it doesn't make us forget . I will miss you forever.
