I just heard of Natasha's passing. She was a very kind young lady and I am very appreciative of the interactions I was able to have with her through the NSCA. I will continue to pray for the family as they continue to heal.

Natasha... As we sit here on earth without your presence, we think about why you were the one chosen to leave. The greatest of great are always the first chosen ones. You were so precious to us, and are blessed to have had time with you and be by your side for strength and comfort. You are our strength, our hope, our inspiration, our comfort, our hero and our guardian angel. One of the toughest WARRIORS to fight and not give up... Will love you forever and until we meet again. Bask in heavens beauty.
