| Natalie Tompkins 12/24/2002 |
Yesterday we got a phone call to tell us that our dear friend Natalie Tompkins had passed away on December 8, 2014. It was the most devastating and unexpected news.
Natalie was a force of nature. She filled a room with her presence and her booming laugh. When she was in a room, people were drawn to her. She had a contagious and easy smile that just made you want to smile back.
Natalie threw gatherings that had people from all types of backgrounds. You knew if you were going to Natalie's that you were going to meet interesting people. She had a clawfoot bathtub in her living room filled with colorful pillows way before people thought this was trendy. Everyone wanted to lounge in the bathtub at gatherings.
When Natalie moved away, she bought a farm and started farming. She seemed happy with her goats and plants. It was harder to keep in touch once she moved away but when we got on the phone it was like we were never apart.
Natalie will be missed by all those she came in contact with. I will miss her so much, I still can't express it.
Until tomorrow...
