30 May 2005 - 30 Sep 2010 It is hard to comprehend that time is going by so fast. It just seems like yesterday that August came to an end and now here we are at the end of September. Another month has passed and we still know nothing of the fate of Natalee - what happened to her and where she is now. I hope all will understand, but I feel that something I said 25 months ago needs to be said again. It was based on the words of Dave Holloway, who said, "I am confident that if we all work together, we will find an answer as to what happened to my daughter. We won't give up on you, Natalee. You didn't give up on us, and we will continue with the investigation until we have all of the answers to your disappearance. God be with you, my Natalee!". Those words by Dave have stuck in my mind and in my heart. Could you, as a parent, do anything else but what Dave, Robin, and Beth have been doing? You can't stop, you can't give up because it is your child and you must do everything you can to find out what happened and get them back. How terrible this must be day after day for 1,950 days and still have no answers and not know where your child is. I don't know of anyone here who has been fortunate enough to personally know Natalee, but the words, poems and beautifully expressed thoughts that have been written here for her, makes me feel that we do know her and we definitely love her. It is just amazing that one young woman, who we have never met, can inspire and bring out the best in so many. Because of Natalee, we are better than we were before. The legacy of someone is not necessarily what they do or say, but the impact that they have upon others and Natalee has definitely had an impact on many. I said this before and will say it again - Natalee has created an unforgettable legacy that will live on forever - a legacy of faith, hope and love. You may think what you have done and continue to do here is insignificant, but it is not - it is truly significant. There is much truth in the statement, "We can make a difference", because I think we can. To the world, you may be only one, but to one you may be the whole world. Compassion and love for another is the greatest gift one can bestow. For those of us who made a commitment 64 months ago and have tried to honor that commitment each and every day by what we do and what we say, that commitment must continue until the day that Natalee is found and brought home. Most importantly, we must continue to have hope for Natalee. And, we must remember Natalee is out there somewhere - waiting - and we can not let her down. It is so important that we keep Natalee in the forefront by doing whatever it takes. We have to be a voice for Natalee and for her family as well. We can not let Natalee be forgotten - ever.

30 May 2005 - 30 Aug 2010 One more month has again passed with no word about Natalee - where she is or what really happened to her. The last one seen with her in Aruba in May 2005 has since been charged with the brutal murder of another young woman in Peru. That murder was committed five years later on the very same day, May 30, that Natalee disappeared. He has also been charged with extortion of Natalee's mother and is being investigated for human trafficking of young girls in Thailand. It is evident that he was not alone in Natalee's disappearance. Others were involved or at least know what happened but refuse to speak out and so the situation continues on without an end in sight. We have continued in our efforts to find the truth and to find Natalee because of a strong faith and the hope that one day our efforts will be successful. One does, however, know the whole truth and in His timing it will be revealed. Until then, we must continue our prayers and continue to speak of Natalee so that she will not be forgotten, 63 months may seem like a long time, in terms of days, but when you care so much about someone, time becomes of lesser importance than faith and hope. Our prayers for, and thoughts about, Natalee and her family will not cease until Natalee is found and brought home. We can not give up or give in - we must continue on .... in the name of and for the love of Natalee.

I followed this case since Natalee went missing. I have a daughter 17 months younger than Natalee and can only imagine the pain you have been through and still go through not knowing where she is or what happened to her. My prayer is that one day you will find her and be able to lay her to rest at home. My heart goes out to you both. Natalee has touched the hearts of people all over the world and will never be forgotten.

One more month has passed and it has now been 62 months since Natalee went missing. The most disheartening part of this is we really do not know much more now than we did 62 months ago about what happened to Natalee and where she may be now. We have heard so many confessions, stories, theories, and thoughts about what happened, but they have been just words without basis and have not brought forth any truths. What kind of people would make such a lasting commitment to one that they do not know. It would be those with an understanding of compassion ... those who care for another and understand how one must feel when one that they love has been taken from them and are left facing the unknown ... those who will not give up even when all looks hopeless. It is those kind of people who joined together and have been here for the last 1,888 days waiting ... hoping ... doing whatever they can ... to enable Natalee to be found and brought home. Throughout these many months we have been challenged many times and each time we have risen to the challenge because we have joined hands with each other and formed a union of one. This union allows us to carry those who experience moments of despair, losses and other problems because we draw our strength from those who are strong and give to those who are in need. Natalee is truly a special young woman who has captured the hearts of people worldwide. Very few of us ... if any ... know her, but in spite of that she brought us together - people of all faiths, beliefs, cultures, and backgrounds from around the world. Natalee has made the word 'life' something to cherish and never take for granted. She has shown us that all life is precious, all life has meaning, and all life demands dignity and respect. Through her we know that people, although diverse, can be brought together for a common cause. We must never let Natalee's life on this earth go unremembered. We must never forget Natalee. We must continue to be a voice to defend her honor, her integrity and her good name against all that say negative or untruthful things about her. She is someone to be extremely proud of and has left her mark on this world. So, onward we go ... with faith and hope ... until the day comes that Natalee is found and brought home.

I never knew Natalie. But, I have followed this case from the beginning. we may never know what those heartless creatures did to her. But for you family's sake Natalie please find your way home! Please give your family a place to visit you adn know that you are now safe. Dont let these terrible men keep your secret alive! Even if this mystery is never solved, these men will have their day! Karma will take care of them. all three of them. But, Natalie please find your way home. Give us a sign of where to find you so that you may have the respect that you so deserve and a place that you can now call home

The world is left with a dark heart not knowing where you are today. I saw you on occasions at school and you were the shinning star at school in Alabama. I want you to know where you are that you are loved and missed by many of your friends classmates and the people in our little community. The feeling we have on the inside since May 30, 2005 cannot be described in words. We love and miss you Natalle and hope you return home one day safe so you can embrace the love and the care of your family and community. Rest in love Natalee if you are already at Peace.

30 May 2005 - 30 June 2010 It has now been 61 months since Natalee went missing in Aruba. To this day, not one real truth has been spoken or one real piece of evidence has been found that would tell what happened to Natalee or where she may be - whether she may still be alive somewhere or whether she is no longer on this earth. But, someone does know what happened to her and where she is and it is unconscionable that they have kept this to themselves for all this time knowing full well just how this has affected so many others. Do not ever think that what we have done and continue to do here is insignificant because it is truly significant. There is much truth in the statement, "We can make a difference", because we can. By keeping Natalee in the forefront and by being a voice for Natalee and for her family it will not let Natalee be forgotten - ever. It has been said that to the world we may just be one person, but to one person we may be the world. As time continues to pass it gets more difficult to maintain a positive feeling that one day soon this will all end. But, we continue because the feeling that we have in our hearts for Natalee and her family is so great that the negative thoughts are washed away. Compassion and love for another is the greatest gift one can bestow. For those of us who made a commitment 61 months ago and have tried to honor that commitment each and every day by what we do and what we say, that commitment must continue until the day that Natalee is found and brought home. Most importantly, we must continue to have hope for Natalee. Natalee's mother and father have not given up on her and we can't either. And, we must remember Natalee is out there somewhere - waiting - and we can not let her down. Oh Lord, please hear our prayer I know You hear us, because You are everywhere. We send up a prayer for Natalee tonight As we do each and every night. Our heart aches so very bad And it makes us so very sad To know that Natalee is still gone Oh, Lord, why must it be - this is so wrong. We ask You, Lord, please make a day For Natalee to come home to stay. Thank You, Lord, for hearing our plea And, please, love Natalee for me.

I am willing to bet my farm that Joran has been on a killing spree for the last 5 years... Fate and his greed for money brought him to Peru. He was finally out of the protection of his families 'friends' and got caught. Thank you to the forces that brought him there so he could finally PAY for the murders he has committed in his life, and those who were raped or tortured and are scared to come forward, but have lived through it... May we all continue to pray for those who he has affected.... Ciao, Teri

Losing a child has got to be one of the most devastating things that can happen to anyone. I am so sorry for your loss of Natalie. My husband and I lost our son on April 27, 2004 in a motorcycle accident. Shocks like that to our lives are so hard on us as parents because we just don't expect them to go before us. He was only 21 and had so much life yet to live. He had just begun to get his life in order and was so loved by his family and friends. Laying him to rest was hard, so I know all you want is to find your daughter. You just want some place to go to have piece of mind. I do hope that if she is truly gone to be with the Lord as our son'has, that you too will have that missing piece to be able to also go to. I pray that you will! You take care, and never stop praying. Your prayers have already been somewhat answered as Van der Sloot has been arrested in yet another murder. Remember, the Lord will bring us to our knees and he has done that. I knew if given enough rope, he would do it again, and he did. Killers never stop! They just continue on until they get caught. They just think that they never will. But he has, thank the Lord. l am just so sorry for the family of the young woman that was recently killed, supposedly, by him. Be strong and keep the FAITH! "IN MY HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS, I GO THERE TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU. THAT WHERE I AM, YOU MAY BE ALSO." YOU WILL SEE HER AGAIN SOME DAY. SHE COULDN'T BE ANY HAPPIER THAN SHE IS NOW. I KNOW MY SON IS AND I KNOW THAT HE WOULD NEVER WOULD WANT TO COME BACK TO THIS HORRIBLE EARTH. Debbie Thomas Marshville, NC (30 miles East of Charlotte, NC) dth7550075@aol.com

" If I'm Your Next Victim" "You" and those like you, who makes such a beautiful place "God created called Earth" so unsafe, here's some food for thought for you today, you hide in unseen places waiting for unsuspecting faces, who are unaware of your deadly stare, how did your life get on such an evil course? Is your heart still there, do it have remorse? It's you who will die a million deaths, yet never die, because there's no room for you up high. Hell will drop lower to accommodate your rotten soul, my face is what you'll see every time your eyes close! "If I'm A child" you have taken, those of you who search for me and pray for my safety from my heart you are appreciated, yet if in their twisted mind they decide my demise, my body please don't hide, so I'm returned to those who truly love me, for once in your life, do something right! Also deliver this message to my family & friends, tell them to live life to the fullest for me and for them, and not to let an animal such as yourself take away their happiness, this poem's sadly a sign of the times, it was created in the hopes of changing minds, about committing such unthinkable crimes! I've chosen to be another voice for those who's voice has been stubbed out or silenced from your unsuspecting,undeserving and unnecessary violence! So " If I'm Your Next Victim" and I pray to "God" I'm not I pray that it means either voluntarily or forced " Your Crime Spree Has Stopped!

I lost my sister to a drunk driver 2 years ago. He has not yet been punished in the court because it keeps getting delayed. I can not imagine your pain and frustration because I know mine is so great and I even know what happened to her. Something about Natalee has captured me and so many others around the world. Just her smile shows her soul to us and brings us in. I know that she is in a great place and you will see her again one day. I am so sad that another child had to die from this monster because Aruba didn't take care of him. I can only pray this will give you a little closure and I pray for your family and the family of Stephanie Flores. Joran is a horrible beast, I can only hope that the US will give him the maximum on the extortion case after Peru probably lets him out early. I have trust in the US in the name of Natalee, Stephanie, and countless others that this monster has hurt.

So sad also for both families. Can't imagine what it must be like to lose a child. I have thought of Natalee many times since she went missing and thought of her poor mother and father. My heart is with you and I know these two beautiful girls souls are living on. At the moment scientists are attempting to prove life after death, the website IANDS has so much info and helped me a lot when my mother died. Please know that many people are thinking of you and care about your daughter. Joran is not a normal human being, he's not worth hating and making yourself sick over. Mary

I've seen people from the States writing in blogs in Peruvian news online (www.elcomercio.pe; www.peru21.pe; www.larepublica.pe) I'm sure that makes an impact in Peruvian people and authorities. This guy can get up to 30 years in prison in Lima (for sure he will be bitten, raped, eat horrible, no a/c or heater, no internet or so, it is one of the worst prisons in the world). I do not wish bad things for anyone but he has to be punished for what he did and Lima's prison is what he deserves. Be prepared for him to leave in few years as Peru reduces significantly the jail term in exchange of a confession plus with good behavior the time could be whittled down to half (although you only need one week in Lurigancho -that is the name of the prison- to know how real Hell is). Unfortunately this doesn't bring Natalee or Stephany back but at least we know the person responsible for both murders will pay.

We spent our honeymoon in Aruba short of a month after Natalee disappeared and every year I think of her. When we where there, we looked at every person so see if we could spot her as well, it was so somber there. It saddened my heart for this beautiful young lady with so much ahead of her. My sympathies go out to the family. One day the truth will be known. Keep Natalee in our hearts whether we knew her or not, for that is what keeps her spirit alive! God Bless you Natalee!

30 May 2005 - 30 May 2010 Today, May 30, 2010, makes 1,827 days - 60 months - 5 years - since Natalee disappeared in Aruba. Some question why we are still here after all this time. It is because we all understand and embrace the value and importance of life and thus have given our time in an attempt to bring resolution to a family that has for all this time only wanted one thing - to have their precious and much loved daughter returned home. Natalee has made the word 'life' something to cherish and never take for granted. She has shown us that all life is precious, all life has meaning, and all life demands dignity and respect. She has, through her families, shown us what unending, unconditional, true love means. She has shown us that you can reach for higher goals, that you can be better than you were before, and that you can make a difference. Do something special on this May 30th in honor of Natalee. Do not memorialize her, but rather pay tribute to her. Let people know that you still have hope and that you want them to have hope too - that she is important - that her life has meaning - that you care. We hold true to the belief that everything happens for a reason. That is why we continue to be here season after season. We can not dwell on the past or the things that may have been done, but rather direct our thoughts and our focus on the days to come. There is no returning to yesterday and we do not know what tomorrow will bring, so we must make each day that comes a day of hope and promise for Natalee and her family. Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, but faith looks up!

The principal suspect in Natalee's case has being captured in Chile and will be extradited to Peru where he murdered a girl on may the 30th (this year 2010). Unfortunately Peru has estrange jail system and he will probably will be free in 5 years. Please, participate in blogs, send emails and letters to the news papers in Lima... we need to be Natalee's voice to let people know about her case and how this guy is a suspect ... this guy deserves to pay for what he did to Natalee and Stephany Flores.

30 May 2005 - 30 April 2010 It is so disappointing to once again have to comprehend that another month has passed and Natalee has not been found and brought home with dignity and grace. Today, April 30, 2010, makes 59 months since Natalee disappeared in Aruba. Even though another month has come and gone, those of us who are committed to Natalee and her family understand that this passage of time does not diminish our love, our concerns or our feelings and in fact causes these emotions to increase. Many of us have been here since the beginning and many have joined our family along the way in support of Natalee and her family. It is a true measure of the love for and dedication to Natalee and her family members that we remain after 1,797 days. It defines our commitment to stay until Natalee is found and brought home and nothing or no one will deter us in our goal. Those who try to disrupt and attempt to steer us away will not succeed because, united as one, we can stand strong. You may think what you have done and continue to do is insignificant, but it is not - it is truly significant. There is much truth in the statement, "We can make a difference", because we can. It is so important that we keep Natalee in the forefront by doing whatever it takes. We have to be a voice for Natalee and for her family as well. We can not let Natalee be forgotten - ever. Our thoughts, our prayers and our love go out today to Natalee, her family, and all that know and love her.

30 May 2005 - 30 Mar 2010 One more month has passed - a month in which hopes were again turned into disappointments - a month in which there was yet another confession of what was done to Natalee. It seems that as time goes by, the hurt and the unknowing continues to be fed by those who care not what it does to someone. The most disappointing of all is that after all this time there is still hate and abuse toward Natalee and her family. We have heard it all and and simply can not understand why anyone who was involved wants to continue this travesty. We enter into another month once again with no answers, no truths, and no knowledge of what happened to Natalee or what was done with her. We, after almost five years, do not even know if she is alive or not. It is truly a situation that is unacceptable and there is nothing we can do about it except to continue to have faith and hope that it will come to an end and Natalee will be returned to her rightful place with dignity and honor. Continue on we must, not only for Natalee and her families but for ourselves as well. If Natalee could speak to you today, I believe this what she would say: I am speaking to you today And this what I would like to say. What did I do that was so wrong That I would have to be left somewhere, alone, for so very long? 1,766 days ago I went to a lovely island To relax, enjoy the water, and walk in the sand. I came here with friends who all got to go home But, I did not get to go and I am still somewhere unknown and all alone. Those who caused me not to go know what they did on my last night And for all this time have kept the truth from coming into the light. Many have caused, and continue to cause, so much heartbreak and agony By abusing me and also putting the blame upon my family. It may seem insignificant to you The life of someone you never knew. Life should be valued all the time And all life is precious, including mine. Please think, if you have a daughter or a son That if something like this, to them, was done. Wouldn't you feel that you should expect To be treated with dignity and respect. There is nothing that I can do. I must rely on each and every one of you To do what is morally right, just and fair To prove to the world that you really do care. I am human and have feelings too Just as those that you love so much do. You can see and be with your family all the time I can not see or be with any of mine. The lives of those in my family have been shattered. But to some it seems it never even really mattered. Lives can never be repaired or mended If unknowing is continuous and open ended This is not my rightful place So, please, don't let them close my case. I would not give up on you, so please do not give up on me Find me and send me home to my family".

30 May 2005 - 28 Feb 2010 Another month has come to an end without knowing where Natalee may be. She has now been missing for 57 months - 1,736 days. There are at least three thoughts that are important right now for us to remember: ~ We did not come into this to only come part-way. If we are truly sincere and committed to it, then we're going to commit to it all the way and that 'all the way' means until Natalee is brought back home. ~ Heroes are ones who never quit! Heroes stand their ground in the face of all odds and continue. Natalee and her families need a hero and we have to try our best to be that Hero. ~ We must hold true to our beliefs and we must remember that everything happens for a reason. We may never know why something such as this happens, but we have to believe that we will find out when we are meant to know. We must continue to be a voice to defend her honor, her integrity and her good name against all that say negative or untruthful things about her. We must continue to make those who may not be aware that Natalee is still missing - we must keep her name out there for all to remember - we must keep her image in the minds of all. We can never let her be forgotten. This is not over and will never be until Natalee is found and returned home with the dignity and grace that she and her families so deserve.

30 May 2005 - 30 Jan 2010 Natalee has now been missing for 56 months - 1,706 days. The 30th of each month may be just another day in the count of many, but the 30th of each and every month represents the end of another period of time that Natalee has been gone. It represents another period of time that her family members, her friends, and others who know and love her, have been without her presence in their lives. We have been here for so long together and we have been through so much, not just with Natalee and her families, but with events that have happened to us in our lives as well. We have watched Natalee's family walk through this nightmare of horrendous proportions and while doing so exhibit such grace, compassion and love for others while hurting so deeply inside. They have even helped others in need while continuing with their own struggles to maintain sanity and a life that has been altered but continues on although it will never be the same again. A post on the 30th of each and every month represents a thought, a prayer, or a message of hope for Natalee and her family even if the family does not see it. It is a message to all that we remember, that we will continue to be by their side, and that we have not and will not forget Natalee or her family. It may be difficult and painful to put our feelings into words, but that should not prevent us from expressing what we feel about Natalee and her family and we should never be hesitant to share what we feel with everyone. There is no returning to yesterday and we do not know what tomorrow will bring, so we must make each day that comes a day of hope and promise for Natalee and her family. ]We can not forget the past or the things that may have been done But, right now our thoughts must be of the days to come We must continue to have great hope for Natalee And continue our support for her loving and devoted family. We can not give up, we must continue to fight We must stand up for what is good and right We must be a voice heard loud and clear For Natalee, who is not yet back with us here. No matter how long it takes to find Natalee We will be here for her and her family Our devotion and our hearts will remain true And, Natalee, we will be here waiting for you.

30 May 2005 - 30 Dec 2009 It has now been 55 months since Natalee went missing in Aruba. Another Christmas Season has passed as well as another year coming to an end again without knowing where Natalee may be or the truth of her fate. Could she still be alive somewhere, kept against her will, or has she been gone since that fateful day in May. There are those who know, but will not reveal the truth and do not understand just how this affects so many, especially her family members and friends. But, Natalee's fate is in the hands of God and He is in control of the situation. Whatever happens will be through Him and in His timing. There are so many wonderful, loyal, loving, and caring people from so many places who continue to give of themselves in support of Natalee and her family by offering prayers and keeping up hope that one day soon this will all end and Natalee will be found and returned home where she belongs. There is nothing we can physically do but keep our faith and hope strong; keep the image and name of Natalee alive; and continue to be the Guardians of Natalee's Hope without reservation and unconditionally. Natalee is pure in her heart, her mind, and her faith and we must strive to be the same. In the name of Natalee and for the love of Natalee, we must be her protector/defender as she can not protect/defend herself. Each of us has a personal responsibility to honor the commitment made to Natalee that we will not give up. Life must go on, but as it does we will not forget and we will wait for her to return.

30 May 2005 - 30 Nov 2009 Another month has come to an end and after 54 months (1,646 days) we still do not know where Natalee may be. We have been through times when we thought the answers would be brought forth and we were so disappointed when nothing came to fruition. We know that there are truths to be revealed because someone knows the truth and we know that Natalee is out there somewhere waiting to be found and returned home. We must continue to make those who may not be aware that Natalee is still missing - we must keep her name out there for all to remember - we must keep her image in the minds of all. We can never let her be forgotten. This is not over and will never be until Natalee is found and returned home with the dignity and grace that she and her families so deserve. - - - - - - Natalee, no one knows just where you are, Whether you might be near or far. But one thing is so very true, And that is so many love and miss you. The time just slowly keeps going by. We see those who love you hurt and cry. And each and every day they pray, And hope that it just might be the day. We have watched seasons come and seasons go, And yet we still do not know, What really happened on that fateful day, Back in 2005 in the month of May. The road we have traveled together has been long, And many times the way we were led was wrong. But we remain steadfast in our way, And nothing said or done will make us sway. Natalee, you are why we have come here, It is you that we hold so very dear. We have hope, we have faith, and we pray, That you will be returned home one day. Our mission here has no bound, Because as yet you have not been found. We will continue until we find you, Natalee, And return you to your loving family. lls/11-30-2009 Please set aside a few moments from your busy day and sit quietly to reflect just why we have been and will continue to be here for Natalee and her families and say a special prayer for them. And, if you are so inclined, please offer your thoughts and words of support for Natalee and her family members and friends. Remember also that the Christmas Season is beginning and this time will be difficult for Natalee's families. This will be the fifth year that Natalee will not physically be home for Christmas. But, she will be there in spirit and in the heart for all hearts come home for Christmas.

May 30, 2005 - October 30, 2009 We have been allowed to come to know this young woman, Natalee, through pictures and videos and descriptions of her from her family members and her many friends. We were also given the opportunity to read three of the writings from the Journal that Natalee kept and saw that she was a very astute young woman who had the same questions and thoughts about life as many of us. We have come to think of her as someone we have known all our lives and, although we came to know her under such terrible circumstances, we are extremely grateful that she was brought into our lives. Unless we have been in a situation such as this, we have not had to experience the not hearing a soft and familiar voice - we have not had to experience the longing for a warm and loving embrace, not seeing the sparkle of beautiful blue eyes or the smile from a loving daughter. There are some here, though, that have been or are in this situation and they can relate to what life is like and continues to be when there is no closure. We will never know just exactly how that hurt really feels. We speak our thoughts as we would feel if Natalee was our daughter, but unless we have been there and experienced something as terrible as this, there is no way we can truly understand just how completely devastating it must be. We do not have to go to bed each night after another day of unknowing, asking God to help us prepare for another day. But, this has been the life of Natalee's family members now for 1,615 days. We must continue to offer up to God our prayers for Natalee and her family because if we quit we would be giving up on Natalee. We must continue to speak of her, think of her, pray for her and defend her. For however long it takes, we must have faith and hope in our heart for the one we truly care so much about - Natalee. Natalee is like the pink rose - a symbol of hope and faith and an image that never fades from the mind. She is a part of our being and will be in our hearts forever.

30 May 2005 - 30 Sep 2009 Another month has come to an end once again without knowing what really happened to Natalee or where she may be at this time. 1,585 days of wondering, waiting, hoping that someone would come forward with the truth and end this horrendous situation. Although it has been so long, there is one thing that I still have and that is Hope. To lose Hope would mean that I concede to defeat - that I give up on Natalee - and that is something that I can not and will not do. Beth has stated her feelings about Hope and I can not agree more. She said, "Hope is a universal message that gets us through the times that are ahead" ... "Hope is what keeps me going. You have to keep hoping for the future." The reality is that life must go on, but that does not mean that you should not remember. Beth says that not a single day goes by that she does not think about Natalee. I don't call that a compulsion or obsession, I call it a feeling from the heart. Natalee is in our hearts and will be there forever and we will not forget. I have put together a small scrapbook about Natalee. I will try to add to it from time to time. The final page of this scrapbook, however, has not been entered and will not be until Natalee is found and brought home. I do have Hope that I will be able to enter that final page. http://www.scrapblog.com/viewer/vw_full.aspx?sbid=2068552 Note: At bottom right are volume and page transition controls

30 May 2005 - 30 August 2009 We were given the honor and priviledge to come to know this young woman, Natalee, through pictures, videos and descriptions of her from her family members and her many friends. We watched her grow from a cute, spunky little girl into a beautiful, intelligent and spunky, young woman. We learned of her dreams and desires and just how hard she worked so that they would be realized. We learned that she also was very astute about life due to some of the writings that we were privileged to read from her Journal. We have come to think of her as someone we have known all our lives and, although we came to know her under such terrible circumstances, we are extremely grateful that she was brought into our lives. We are all here on earth for an unknown period of time, and sometimes our time is shorter than others. Although many believe the worst, we really do not know Natalee's fate because the real truth and where she may be is still unknown. So, we must thank God for allowing her to be here for the time that she was here and continue to have hope for the future. She has left her mark on this world. Our lives have been changed - a change that is for the good - and we are better because of her impact on us and the legacy she has created. That legacy is one of faith, hope and love. And, we can honor that legacy she created simply by living it every day. Natalee is someone to be extremely proud of and we must never let her life on this earth go unremembered - we must never forget Natalee. Although is has been 51 months - 1,554 days - we are ..... Still Waiting Many, many days have passed since that day in May. And today ends another period of time that Natalee has been away. But even though time has passed and she is not here, We still have thoughts and prayers for her, the one we hold so dear. Our faith, our hope, our support and our love for her Will forever remain true and never waiver. We will be here along with those who know and love her, waiting patiently, For one day soon to see the return of Natalee.

30 May 2005 - 30 July 2009 One can not imagine that after 1,523 days - 50 months - that Natalee would still be missing and not brought back home to family and friends. There must be a reason for this - a reason only known by God - and He is not ready to tell us that reason. It has become obvious that Natalee was brought here for a purpose and it just may be that the purpose has not yet been fulfilled. God does not forsake those who do not forsake Him, so we just must be patient and trust in Him that there will be an end to this and Natalee will be returned. Natalee has missed so much because of all the time that has passed. But, others have missed so much as well - her gentle spirit, her beautiful smile, her warm and loving embrace, her humor and her mischieviousness - all those characteristics that make her who and what she is. Natalee is out there somewhere waiting to be found and brought home. We so desperately want this to end, but until then we can only continue to offer our prayers, express our hope and provide our unending support to Natalee and her families. No matter what happens, Natalee was, is and always will be, Natalee. She is a source of inspiration and will never be forgotten. She will live in our hearts forever.

May 30, 2005 - June 30, 2009 49 Months It has been 49 months since Natalee disappeared And after all this time, the situation is as we all feared She is still out there somewhere, waiting, all alone And it appears as if nothing is being done to bring her home. All the heartbreak and all the pain that comes with each new day Remains etched in our heart and will not go away We say prayers every morning and every night Hoping that God wil hear them and will make things right For months we watched events as they would unfold Along with the lies, untruths, and misinformation that was told Someone said that they had the answers and the proof But it turned out not to be the real and honest truth One lovely young woman's presence here on this earth Was removed because of someone's disregard for her worth They took away her grace and defiled her beauty and her dignity And it was done without remorse or thoughts about her or her family We have lit the eternal flame of love So God may see it from above It is the symbol of our love for Natalee And will burn brightly until Natalee is back with her family. Only God can determine right now what is to be As He has charge over Natalee So, while we patiently wait to see what Natalee's fate is or where she may be We will continue to be here for her and her family. ~ lls-63009 ~ This video created last year by Forgetmenot34 is a wonderful picture tribute to Natalee. It reminds us that we will not forget - we will remember Natalee forever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inn0A0m8hfM Hope for Natalee
