Rest in Peace Natalie Jacobs

Our dear friend Natalie Jacobs died suddenly on January 2 after a brief illness. This is what I know right now: she was ill with a respiratory infection. She went to the emergency room, was given medication and released. She was found by friends the next morning dead in her bed.

She was present at both my childrens births. She helped cut my daughters umbilical cord and was the first person other than myself to hold my son. She was just finishing her education as a midwife.

I spoke with her last two weeks ago.

Natalie, we'll miss you.

I just got an e-mail from my friend Marc about this. I had no idea that Natalie had been sick. I'd lost touch with her years ago and I had hoped to catch up with her sometime. Natalie was one of a kind and I'll always have some great memories of hanging out with her.

Wishing you the best of luck for those your own blogging efforts.I truly appreciate the time you absorbed writing this article.
