July 16, 1934 — May 19, 2007
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Excerpt from The Road Not Taken, By Robert Frost

We would like to personally thank everyone for the calls and the emails over the past few months. Even during the times Natalie was unable to respond, she appreciated each and every thoughtful gesture from you all. It is a great testament to Natalie that many of you were not simply customers and resellers, but friends. There are no words to describe the loss we feel here at UltraBac Software. Her laughter and spirit will be greatly missed, and yet we take great comfort in our memories — she truly touched our hearts.
Natalie Jeanne Riehl, 72, of Kirkland, Washington, died peacefully at her home on Saturday after a courageous battle against cancer. A manager at a software development firm in Bellevue, Natalie was a life force who enjoyed working full-time and was an incredible asset to the company. In her spare time, she enjoyed art, wine, and hosting dinner parties with perfect table settings. Natalie was also well-traveled, and made & maintained friendships all over the world. As much as she was a people person, she also loved furry friends as well, and was generous in her support of animal-related causes. She was loved by many, and will be greatly missed by all. The world is a much sadder place without her whip-smart wit and go-getter attitude. Natalie is survived by her son, Michael Murray, of Surrey, British Columbia; brother and sister-in-law, Bill and Marie Clark, of Belwood, Ontario; and her adored pets, Pergo and Henry. At Natalie’s request, no service is planned; she will be laid to rest with her mother and father in Canada.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, please send donations to Pasado's Safe Haven.
