"I am the niece of prolific writer Dawn Natelle who passed away earlier this week after suffering a stroke. Dawn wrote such stories as River, A Second Chance and The House among other stories that are incomplete. Dawn allows me to let any writer interested in completing any of her stories to do so as long as they attribute it. I may even attempt to do so myself. (See what I did, now you have to do it) Dawn apologizes for the long gap between stories. Dawn wishes she hadn’t ignored her diabetes so that she could have written them herself."

The above was dictated to me by Dawn, who didn't want to leave this world without letting you all know what had happened. She had so much love for the kind people she met through this site and I know how happy she would be if anyone were to write their own endings to her stories. Dawns last few months were hard and often when she could do nothing else she would craft stories in her head to tell her sisters and I. Storytelling was always one of her greatest passions in life and I believe it helped make her transition to whatever comes next much easier. She passed peacefully, free of pain and surrounded by the people she loved most in the world. Though I wish she were still here with us I know she was ready to start the next chapter and find out what lies beyond death.
In her last days I spent a lot of time with her writing down some of her story ideas. I hope that once I've had some time to grieve I will be able to turn some of them into fully fleshed out stories and post them here in her memory.
