From One Year Ago...Sentiments from Scared Monkeys to Natalee’s family…October 21, 2005SleuthMay you feel God’s arms surround you today.
I’m thinking of Natalee’s smile today and how that smile has touched all of our hearts.
I wish I could send you one of Natalee’s smiles for every tear you’ve shed.

SSDPrayer for Natalie as Her Birthday Approaches
On the eve of the day you came to be in this world
We think of you with joy and sadness.
Joy, because of your bright smile and fresh dreams,
Sadness, because you are gone, and we can’t find you.
We offer up prayers for your return,
With longing to find and receive you.
We ask blessings on your family and friends
And strength to endure this long journey.
Most of us never met you, yet you have changed our lives.
We never knew you, yet you are a part of us all.
We keep the candles in our hearts lit and our thoughts ever focused
And pray that someday you will return.

xoxoxoxo.
WolfeladyinbamaTo all the family members involved in this horrible situation, I wish you much peace and comfort on this very special day. How I wish you could be with your beautiful daughter on this occasion. My prayers and thoughts are with you all, and sincerly hope that Natalee is very soon to be brought home to this beautiful state of Alabama. May you always find comfort in the Lord and peace in the fact that HE has ALWAYS known where she is.
VabeachgirlPlease accept my most sincere sympathy for each of you who knew Natalee and loved her. My husband’s son died recently in an automobile accident; that experience was painful enough, but the mystery surrounding Natalee’s disappearance must only compound your grief. I have only the greatest admiration for those of you who have kept Natalee’s story alive in the media. I am sure this has been a difficult task. As a mom, I wish to send Beth a tribute for her continuing courage in the most difficult of all tragedies. My cousin’s daughter, Carrie Smith Lawson, of Jasper, AL was kidnapped at least a decade ago and never located. Our family knows the pain that lack of definitive information can cause. Love to every one of you.
JlunderdogTo Natalee’s friends and family:
May God give you the strength and comfort you need on this special day. When I try to think of something positive that may come from your tragedy, I am hard pressed to do so. However, the courage, resilency and strength that your family has demonstrated is most honorable and inspiring. Natalee has touched so many lives and will never be forgotten. “The Lord’s love never ends; His mercies never stop. They are new every morning…” Lamentations 3:22, 23 Just a little reminder that you are in God’s care and my prayers today.
To Natalee, I heard this song and thought of you..”I hope you dance”
“I hope you never lose your sense of wonder.
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance.
And when you get the chance to sit it out or dance —
I hope you dance.”
MaritzkaNineteen candles burning bright
with hope they light the way,
To bring you to your familys’ sight
ere the closing of this day.
A million prayers are prayed today
from silent moving lips,
To guide you to the love you own
where you are deeply missed.
KkialHappy Birthday Natalee
My prayer for Natalee’s loved ones……………Know that there are
millions who feel a part of this tragic experience.
I pray that you will be filled with a new awareness of the
love God has for you.
I pray that God willl bless you and those you love
and take away the heartach and tears that no one else sees.
I pray that as you face today and all your tomorrows it
will be with a renewed sense of Christ’s promise of your
future certainty.
Amen

CathicusI
’m so pleased to be back on the forum in time to leave a birthday message for Natalee and her family. I don’t think there’s a day that goes by that I don’t think about Natalee. Her gift to us is that she has brought so many decent loving people together.
We love you Natalee. I hope our love can bring you home soon.
To Natalee’s family: Keep being strong. The whole world is watching and most of the world is behind you and will stay with you until Natalee is found. I hope that thought helps to give you continued strength to get through this and bring Natalee home.

To Natalee’s family:
Your courage and bravery in this tragedy have inspired us all. There are no limits to what a parent will do for their child and you are the most beautiful examples of this that I have ever seen. Your love for Natalee shows in everything you do. I pray for you and for Natalee every night. My children pray for you all, also.

Natalee has touched so many lives, just as you all have.
Beth, as I watched you tonight on Scarborough, my heart broke with you. The tears fell just as yours did. You are an amazing woman and so full of grace. You have taught me not to take my beautiful daughter for granted. You have inspired me to let her know how wonderful I think she is.
Dave, you are my hero as a father figure. I love your calmness, your sense of forgiveness and your determination.
God bless you all on Natalee’s birthday.
BeachwegoHappy Birthday Natalee…May God Hold you in His arms and carry you home….
“If you knew where I am standing, if you could see the sights I see, if you could hear the angels singing, the songs they sing eternally.”
God Bless You, Beth & Dave, in your strength, courage & determination in finding Natalee and seeking the justice she so deserves. I’ll hold you in my thoughts and prayers until the end.
RooscrewHappy Birthday Natalee!
You are always in my thoughts & prayers. I really wish I could go find you and return you safely back to your family who loves you more than anything in this world. You have a remarkable family in which they are trying to do everything they can to find you.
You truly are a beautiful young lady! You have a very pretty smile that shows nothing but what true happiness and love is all about. May God continue to keep his loving arms wrapped around you and protect you until it’s His time for you to be reunited with your family.
To Beth, Dave, Jug, Robin, Matthew, you are in my thoughts & prayers all the time. May God continue to surround you with His loving arms and give you peace, love & comfort that only He is able to do.

JanfolkartFor Natalee
Who knew that back on that day in May
We would meet a girl, who in our hearts would stay
She was pretty, she was smart, she was on her way to greatness
But she would never start.
They took her from us
We cried with your tears
Our love for your Natalee
Would never end for years.
We join in your fight to find our girl
What happened that night, we would help unfurl
The sadness replaced by anger and determination
We will fight and fight this Aruban nation.
But today we all pray, and wish on a star,
That the search for Natalee we help from afar.
Our girl’s birthday is a magical date
And perhaps soon, we will learn of her fate.
Happy Birthday dear angel wherever you are!
We will hunt and search from our lookout not far.
In our fight for justice we will never depart
Because our sweet Natalee remains in our Hearts.
Jan of Scared Monkeys
