Natasha Nicole Dostal

Natasha, we all miss you so much. It's sometimes still hard to beleive that this nightmare has really happened. I had a dream about you one night and I woke up feeling so happy and elated that you were alive, that none of this was true...then reality quickly hit me, you were gone. If only things had turned out differently.

The kids miss you so much. Tiffany still cries. I thank God everyday that they had the chance to say goodbye. When we left the hospital that day, they hugged you and told you they loved you and you told them the same. If only I had known that would be the last time I would see you, I would have hugged you and never let you go. I feel so sad that my girls will go through their teenage years without you to give them advice on friends and boys and all those troubles girls have to deal with. Things they don't want to go to their mom for. I always counted on that, who will they go to now? You were more like a big sister than a cousin to them.

I know you will always be around them and you will live on forever in our hearts and through our memories. That's all we have left now. I hope and pray that we get answers about your death. Your mom is working hard on that. I can almost hear you say, "That's my mom! She's not gonna just let this go!" We need to know what happened that devastating night before we can have peace.

I wish that I could have helped you more over the past few years, as your auntie. I should have tried. But I guess I always thought that you would get through this difficult time in your life. I know you are in a better place and all your troubles are gone, but we'd rather have you here with us.

We love and miss you, Tash

Juanita,
Kyle, Tiffany & Brittany.
