Nathalie and I spent countless hours playing in many bands throughout high school. Always sitting next to each other and holding our trumpets high. Nathalie always had a quick smile, great sense of humor and laugh. Prayers for you and your family at this difficult time.

My Dad’s family were Nathalie’s family’s neighbours from the stories I’ve heard. (Or practically neighbours.) I met Nathalie when I was little and I fell in love with her smile. I also loved the way that her hair was always different every time I saw her. We’d drive to pick her up for some kind of adventure, and I would wonder if I’d be able to recognize her… Then I’d see that smile… No matter how many times she changed her hair colour, length, style… She had a special smile.
She was a unique person, and my heart sank when I heard of her passing.
I only ever met her sons, Max and Noah… I cannot express in words to either of you, or to your whole family, how sorry I am to hear that Nathalie has passed. But know that I will carry her in my heart always.
