I’m going to miss her bluntness 😂 she had no problem saying what was on her mind and I could always go to her for advice. Definitely one of my go to people. Rest In Peace Beautiful.
Chandler Peterson says
Natasha Crabtree was the best mom I could’ve asked for, she would be there if someone needed help, she would be there if someone needed to talk to her, she would sacrifice herself for the people she loved, she would make people smile even if she’s dying inside, she was a very good person to me, and right she’s in a better place, until we meet again mama ❤️

Can’t believe she’s gone, I go to send her my daily bump picture and realize she won’t be sending me her bump picture back. I can’t believe this beautiful, amazing, unique soul, caring individual, and bubbly personality isn’t with us anymore. She was not only a friend but my work mom. Just the other day on the 4th of July we were comparing our bumps. She put so much joy into my life. She lit up the room with her personality. I remember all the times we spent laughing until we couldn’t breathe anymore or joking around about work things. I’m so blessed to have had her in my life, to have a friend I could count on for anything and everything even if that meant helping me through tough times, late night talks, someone to laugh and joke with, and simply just someone to sit with while we both cried. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her. She is truly missed and loved by so many.

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that you’re gone…we have so many amazing wonderful memories together! You were the most blunt person I ever met 😂 you had no problem telling anyone what you thought. You were always there whenever I need you, hell you were always there when anyone needed you! Between our 4 hr drives around town and random trips to butte to watching the kiddos play in the yard. You were the best mother the babes could ever ask for! You were the best wife Ethan could ever ask for! You were the best friend I could ever ask for! I’m gonna miss your contagious smile, warm heart, your laugh, I’m gonna miss everything about you! Life isn’t fair how the good ones always seem to go first….I’ll never forget you and I promise to keep your memory alive everyday! I love you Tash and I’ll forever miss you! Until we meet again my beautiful guardian angel. ❤️🙏💞
