Goodbye, Nat. You were a terrific person and a real good sport! I’m really going to miss our conversations. (especially those laced with questionable subject matter) No one ever had to wonder where they stood with you, and that was refreshing. Thoughts and prayers to the whole family.
Nat was such a wonderful,lady. And as Chris said no one had to wonder what she was thinking or where she stood on matters. I will miss seeing you at the store, when I first got to know her I was working in a local restaurant and she would come in and say “it’s tea time” and order a beer! She was a funny lady and this town will miss her
Thoughts and prayers to the family…RIP Nat!
