Sad to hear of Natasha's passing. Was amazing to work along side her. She had a beautiful manner with the patients we cared for. She always had time to explain, down to earth but always professional and passionate. Some would say regal
Will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

So sad to hear that Natasha is no longer with us. My most treasured memory of having the privilege of working with her was to see a Doctor sit on the floor to be eye to eye with her patient. True compassion from a special lady.

I am so sorry and shocked to hear this sad news. As a nurse on the OPH community team I worked with Natasha a few years ago and we went on many a home visit together. She was so bright and full of life and a great teacher. On more than one occasion the patient or their family would recognise her from the Smith family who they had worked for and would share some fond memories of their time at Smiths.
She worked hard to enhance the life of elderly people and it is so sad she has been denied a full life span.

Devastated to know you are gone Natasha. I'll never forget you teaching us as 4th or 5th years and getting us all to taste thickened fluids and supplement drinks. My style of teaching. You were amazing and kind and will be so very very missed. May you rest in peace.
