Dear Cousin Andre, Brianna & Aidan,

My deepest sympathies to the family.

May the memory of Natalie’s lively soul lift your spirits through each passing day and be of comfort to you through this time of healing.

Lots of love,

Cousin Denise from Los Angeles

My profound condolences to Andre, Aidan, Brianna,the Lopes and Belmonte families and everyone who loved, admired and respected Natalie, and whose lives she touched with her grace. May all of you find solace knowing that you are in the thoughts, hearts and prayers of many around the world who have been afflicted by this tragedy.

I first met Natalie when I was 10 years old. She usually sat right in front of me in class because my last name was Lopez and her last name was Lopes. She is an amazing person whose smile will always be etched in my memory like the spots you see when you look at the Sun. I will never, ever, forget her. Or that smile.

Prayers and blessings for Natalie. — a special note to her sister MICHAELA — You and your sister were always kind friends to me. I am thinking of you and have faith you will carry on.

Dear Reggie, Cheryl, Michaela,Reg & all your families –

My heartfelt sympathies & prayers for God’s special blessings at this time to comfort you all. May Natalie’s soul rest in peace.

Love – Rosie

Cousin Andre, Brianna, Aidan and The Lopes Family

Words cannot express how sorry we are for your immense loss. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Natalie’s memory will live on through all of you. Lots of love from Toronto.

My deepest sympathy to Natalie’s family. I have known Natalie since she and my daughter Kelly attended St. Ambrose School and both went on to Pope John Paul II High School. I worked at the high school and saw her everyday. She was in my daughter’s wedding. Natalie was always full of life; a beautiful person inside and out. She called me “Auntie Sis”. I am deeply saddened by her death. She will be missed by many.

My most heartfelt condolences to the Belmonte Family.

My prayer are with all of you.

Rest in peace, and may God be with your family at this sorrowful time.

Andre, please accept my heartfelt condolences. My heart goes out to your wonderful children whose mom was snatched away from them. I trust that the God of all comfort will comfort you and give you His peace and strength at this difficult time.

Rick, Anjali & I offer our sincere condolences. She will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Rest in peace Natalie……

All these years I have been apart from my friends, and though I miss them, I have never been sad because memories of the times we shared always brings a smile to my face. Today, even though my heart is heavy, I feel blessed to have known Natalie and will forever cherish the times I spent together with her and ‘Bo’.

Andre, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids. May God grant yours and the Lopes family the strength to rise above this very difficult time in your lives.

My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy go to the Lopes and Belmonte families. Words cannot express how heavy my heart is. I too have known Natalie for over thirty years. We first met at St. Ambrose Elementary School. I still remember the first day Natalie entered our classroom. The beautiful girl from Guyanna with a brilliant smile and infectious laugh. We continued on together attending Pope John Paul II High School. After high school we stayed in touch and Natalie stood at the alter with me when I married my husband David. Even though we didn’t speak often, we could always pick up right where we left off…as if no time had past. Just last Saturday we shared communication regarding our 25th high school reunion and had plans to meet up with some St. Ambrose friends. I am still in shock and disbelief and am so sorry for the loss of my friend. Natalie was a beautiful person inside and out. So full of life. May she rest in peace….I know she is flying on Eagles Wings.

Mr. and Mrs. Lopes, Andre, Michaela, Reggie, Brianna and Aiden~I pray for all of you at this most difficult time and hope you find peace knowing Natalie is in Gods hands watching over all of you. God Bless.

Dear Cheryl, Reggie, Andre, Brianna, Aidan and family, we are so heartbroken for you all. Although we were out of touch for many years, my childhood memories are full of wonderful adventures with Nats. She was truly the closest I got to ever having a sister, and I am grateful for the time I got to have her in my life.

We all send you our love and prayers,

Nathalie deLisser Ellison and family, Peter and Liz deLisser, Brayon deLisser, and Damian deLisser

RIP Natalie … May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel. Our condolences to your family including Andre, Brianna & Aidan

Dearest Andre, Brianna, Aidan, the rest of the Belmonte family and the Lopes family.

We have no words in our heart to describe your loss. Our heartfelt condolences and sympathy to you all. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time, and will always be. May the wonderful memory of Natalie lift your hearts with each passing day.

Lots of love, Girish, Sandra and Sophia x

May the Lord comfort you and give you strength and His peace during this time. Natalie’s family is in our thoughts and prayers. I went to St. Ambrose with Michaela and I’m saddened by your loss.

Our prayers are with the entire family. Laurie sends her condolances as well.

To our most dear Andre, Brianna & Aidan, also Peter, Leita, Simone & family and Mr & Mrs Lopes & family,

We can only imagine the deep sorrow and heartbreaking agony that you´re all enduring on the loss of Natalie. No amount of tears, nor words of sympathy, can soften the blows of pain to your hearts. Natalie did what she thought best and, in so doing, sacrificed her all for what she believed in. May the soul of one so beautiful find comfort and rest in the loving arms of Our Heavenly Father. Natalie will always be with us – in our hearts, in the lives she touched, in the friends she made, in the families she joined together and in the beautiful and loving children she left. Please be comforted in knowing that the thoughts of those who love you are with you at this sad time.

With love and blessings.

Ruth Anne and Azeem

Deareset Andre, Brianna, Aidan, Uncle Peter, Auntie Leta and the Lopes family,

There are not enough words to express the deepest sorrow my heart feels for you all. May god guide and protect you along this difficult journey and cherish the beautiful memories you had with Natalie.

Deepest and sincerest condolences. God has scooped her up and has her in his loving arms; there is no more pain or suffering where she is. She is smiling on us all and is telling us to use her legacy as an example. She was the most brilliant person I had the priveledge to know. I could not figure out why this could happend and now it is real clear; Natalie did not belong here, she was a angel that was here for only a short time and her time was up. She was not of this earth of corruption, lies, anger and violence;she was none of those things.She was sent here to show us goodness, love and beauty which she did well. God had another plan. May God reach out to you and comfort you during this difficult time. May Natalies memory live within us each day as we struggle to live life without her.

Dear Cheryl, Reggie and family

i was extremely shocked to hear the news of Natalie, and wanted to send my love and prayers to you all at this time. May perpetual light shine upon her,

Regards, William Mahfood

Dear Lopes and Belmonte Family,

Our deepest sympathies on the tragic news, we are truly sorry and saddened for your loss. Our thoughts are with you all.

I will always have fond memories of Natalie, especially the time we came to visit one Christmas back in 1989. She treated us as family and the hospitality is forever appreciated and remembered.

Davey Singh and Family.

Natalie you were a ray of sunlight and we will always remember you.

Our deepest condolences to the Lopes and Belmonte families for their loss of Natalie.

Our children played and grew up together in the neighborhood and our family laments this tragic, senseless loss of Natalie’s life.

May Natalie rest in peace in the care of our Lord and that he bring comfort to all of her loved ones, including Andre, Brianna and Aidan.

Al, Lisette, Michael, Alyssa and Lexi Quintana

Natalie, you were such a beautiful and kind mother. You and your family will forever be in my prayers and I know your warmth in spirit will always be in all of our hearts. I thank you so much for giving birth to a wonderful daughter who became one of my closest friends. Rest in peace.

Those we love don’t go away,

They walk beside us every day,

Unseen, unheard, but always near,

Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Natalie reached out to me when I was a shy and awkward college freshman. Natalie didn’t know how to be shy or awkward; she only knew how to be warm and friendly. Natalie’s kind, outgoing nature made her my best college friend and altered the course of my life forever. Joe and I would have never met if it weren’t for Natalie and her gift for making friends and bringing people together. Twenty five years and three precious children later, we look back to Natalie with much gratitude. What a special human being! Michaela, Reggie, Cheryl, Reg, Andre, Brianna, Aidan and other loved ones….we are praying for you.

Kelly and Joe Mekdeci

Natalie’s life force was palpable and lit up every room she entered. I have never met anyone more positive, vivacious, and confident. No one could meet her and forget the encounter. Her smile was legendary. Alfred and I extend our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved her. She will be missed.

natalie you will be loved forever & missed by many people and many of us that were always at your home. RIP

Dear Natalie,

Although I only just had the pleasure of meeting you, I know in my heart you were truly a special individual. Your warm personality and beautiful smile will always be remembered.

Love,

Ana

Nicole’s Mom

The purpose of our lives is to give birth to the best which is within us.

Nat did that and more.

True friends may be gone but never forgotten.

George Fairell

Over the last week, I have fondly remembered my teenage years with both Natalie and Micheala. The many times so many of us invaded Auntie Cheryl’s and Uncle Reggie’s home in the wee hours of the morning. While Reggie slept, not so soundly, Auntie Cheryl would get up and listen to the stories of our night out, somehow managing to find food for a dozen or so hungry teenagers. This is the family I grew up with. Natalie, a sister I limed with.

Uncle Reggie, Auntie Cheryl, Micheala, Reggie and the rest of the family, words cannot describe my sorrow at your loss. I will hold on to the memories of a true friend, knowing that she is now in a better place. Please extend my deepest sympathy to her children.

Paul

May the joy of having had such a wonderful daugter,mother and sister ease the pain as the days pass. I hear stories from Freddy and they were always of what a wonderful and loving person Natalie was. God sent her to us though brief in order to learn to love and accept others as they are.

Our prayers will be with your may God guide and comfort each and every one of you…

My prayers and thoughts and those of my family are with you all!

LIKE EVERYONE ELSE THAT KNEW NATALIE, WE WILL MISS HER. WE WOULD LIKE TO OFFER OUR HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES TO HER FAMILY.

GOD BLESS AND WE WILL REMEMBER HER AS YOU WILL IN OUR PRAYERS.

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY FOR THE BELMONTE /LOPES FAMILY. I’M NOT NEAR THE PEMBROKE PINES AREA,BUT WHEN I SAW THE NEWS ON TV AND SAW THAT ITS NOT FAR FROM ME, I HAD TO SENT MY CONDOLENCES . IM SO SORRY. I DIDN’T KNOW NATALIE,BUT DO KNOW THAT NOW SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE RESTING IN PEACE AND WATCHING OVER HER FAMILY. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.

Psalm 126:5-6 Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. he who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.

Dear Lopes Family,

Our hearts break for each and everyone of you and you have been on our minds and in our prayers since Brooke shared the news with us last week. Please know that you are thought of often and prayed for daily. May God hold you in the palm of His hand as you mourn your beloved Natalie.

Our deepest sympathy,

The Fouts Family

Friends of Reggie, Brooke & Matthew

Memories In The Heart – Unknown

Feel no guilt in laughter, she knows how much you care

Feel no sorrow in a smile that she’s not here to share

You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to

She’d hope that you can carry on, the way you always do

So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared

The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared

Let memories surround you.

A word someone may say

Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day

That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here

And fills you with the feelings that she is always near

For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart

And she will live forever locked safe within your heart.

Natalie, You will be dearly missed, never ever forgotten and always remembered forever.May you rest in peace!

“So, so sad. Let us remember her by that bright smile with the twinkle in her eyes that lit up the room.”

Reg, Cheryl, Machaela, Reg Jnr, Brianna, Aidan and all the rest of the family,

Our thoughts are with you.

So very sorry for your loss. The love of family and strength in the Lord will see you through.

Dearest cousin Andre, Brianna, Aidan and family

My deepest, most heartfelt condolences. Although losing her is impossible to comprehend, Natalie was a most special angel who we were blessed to know, and who will live on in our hearts forever, her gorgeous smile especially.

Sending love and hugs

Sandra

Cheryl, Children, & Family,

The shock and sadness is palpable. The entire community reacted to Natalie’s tragically unfortunate death. She was such an upbeat wonderful person and I was happy to have known her during the time we worked together at RE/MAX. We were a wonderful real estate family back then and I will cherish the times we worked and laughed together. I wish you all peace, and comfort during this terrible time. I know that the beautiful memories that you shared with her will be a source of strength and inspiration in the days and years to come. I am so so sorry.

She’s now with Our Heavenly Father. Rest in Peace! You are missed!

Dearest Family The Lopes and The Belmonte

Please accept my sincere and deepest condolences with the passing of Natalie whom I have had the pleasure of knowing.

There is not enough words that I can say will comfort you in this time of grief but all I can say is.. I know that Heaven is a better place with Natalie may she Rest in Peace.

My deepest Condolences

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of tragedy and great grief. May the Blessed Lord comfort you and give you His Peace.

i just found out about this. I am very sad. No one who met her will ever forget her.
