This young lady has grown up without her mom in her life due to loosing her at a very early age in both their lives due cancer.  Her daddy, was a police officer where I worked for many years.  He choose to leave his law enforcement career when he knew his daughter would need him to always be there for her.  Natalie has grown up into a lovely young lady with such grace and a very loving heart.  Her story isn't that much different than a lot of others we have heard of, but she is very deserving of this nomination.  I have watched her grow up since birth!  She is going places in life and her daddy and grandparents deserve all the credit for raising a fine and beautiful young lady.
