Happy 36th Birthday Natalia

A huge thanks to all those who served in honor of Natalia's birthday!  237 acts were recorded at the time of posting, and since then we have reached 301!  It means a lot to our family to have so many people remembering her, and honoring her in such a positive way.
We celebrated Natalia by eating her favorite foods

Singing Happy Birthday to her

Releasing balloons into the sky with notes for her

oh how we miss our Natalia.

After the cemetery we had the opportunity to take the 43 donated birthday kits (THANK YOU!!!) to the Bountiful Food Pantry.  We were able to serve for an hour there.  It was a really neat experience.

Love you forever Natalia!!!

Natalia's 36th Birthday is Coming Soon!

October is HERE!   That means its time to do our traditional Service for Natalia for her birthday!!!  I can't believe it would be her 36th birthday.  Crazy to think about.
We invite all those who knew and loved her to join us!  Simply comment below to report your service!  DO THIS BY CLICKING ON COMMENTS BELOW! Or share your service on social media with the hashtag #servicefornatalia.  We would love to know what you did in her honor, but understand if it is to personal.  In that case, just write "1 act of service."

Our family invites you to join us in a project that we think is perfect for honoring her birthday!  We are making birthday kits for the Bountiful Food Pantry!  Here are the details; 

Theme the Party Fun Pack with generic Happy Birthday items or choose a current and relevant theme for a child 1-12 years old.  Birthday kits may include (but are not required):

Package of Party Hats (8ct-12ct)
Noisemakers/Blowers (8ct-12ct)
Streamers (1-2 roll)
Balloons (12ct)
Birthday Banner (1ct)
Party Game (1ct) (“pin the tail” or similar game)
Cake Mix (1ct)
Frosting (1ct)
Package of candles
Disposable pan to cook the cake in (many don't have a pan)

Please package all items together in a fun birthday gift bag or box. Label with approximate age
range.


You are welcome to donate a whole kit, or a piece of a kit!  You can drop your donations off to Rick and Doris, or Camille and Jeremy.  On October 15th our whole family, including Natalia's twin boys will be delivering the kits to the food bank, and spending an hour serving there!  We can't wait!

On October 15th we will take the total number of acts of service and display it up by her grave. (Natalia's Birthday is October 16th, but that is the night we can all gather at her grave.)  Please report your service by October 15th at 8:00AM.  Our goal is 300 acts of service!
  Thanks for helping us celebrate Natalia's life, by the way she lived her life.

Have fun, and let's SERVE FOR NATALIA!
