Beth hall — 15 March 2023

I was fortunate to cross paths with Natalie while traveling through Australia and met her in a small laundry mat on Errol St. in North Melbourne. I'll never forget how impactful and how exciting our conversation was as we exchanged stories and waited together for the machines to do their work. I instantly felt how incredibly humble of a human she was. She dug into her purse and gave me a gold Australian dollar coin and told me to keep it forever as a memory of this time [traveling], I still have this token from her. In our conversation, she shared with me she played the piano and had some youtube videos I could check out, but again she humbley downplayed her talent. It wasn't until after we had departed that I looked her up, and realized the sensation she was! I have so enjoyed checking in on her life through FB, and listening to her music while being back home in USA. What a beautiful soul and wonderful Son she has raised. Prayers for you, Matthew, and the whole family. Though her absence is sad indeed, the heavens are rejoicing!
