Natasha was a long time deviant who touched many hearts in her short time on this Earth. She was kind, dedicated and passionate about helping others see their true potential. She is a true angel that will truly be missed and this feature is dedicated to her memory from those who loved her...
"Natasha was one of my first friends here on DeviantArt, I'll never forget how much heart she put in this website!!! She dedicated her online life to help people in many ways, through advice about art, to finding stock pieces that would benefit others!!! She even provided stock images herself, which made her earn her first Daily Deviation!!! She gave life to one of the sweetest projects here, her "Angel Without Wings", a project she created to give encouragement to those sweet souls who help out others!!! The news of her passing left me with a very heavy heart ... we didn't have enough time to get to know each other as well as I wish we could have known each other, sometimes I feel as if life has done everything possible to keep us apart, but she left us all with a part of herself here, and that is priceless!!!
Dear Natasha, from wherever you are, please know that I miss you and that this place truly won't be the same place without you!!! I hope you felt our love while you were here, I hope our prayers for you while you mentioned you were not feeling too well, helped you ease some pains!!! And above all, my dear friend, I hope you now have all the joy and happiness you've earned, because you have indeed earned it here!!! I love you, my dear, rest in the sweetest of peace now!!! 
"Nameda had a dream and found the way to assemble a team to make this dream come true. She created the Angels without Wings to shine a light on those selfless people who make DeviantArt such a great community. She put her heart and soul into this project and made it a success. She was more than a leader for the Gantas of Love; she was a friend.

"Natasha was an amazing friend, she treated everyone she met, like family.
She was very wise, always had encouraging advice, and always kept thingspositive. She was a strong shoulder, a loving heart, and caring beyond what
she needed to be. Natasha created the Angels Without Wings project, never
realizing how much of an angel she herself was. Learning of her passing has
left a huge empty space in this community. She made this place feel like home
for me. I am going to miss her greatly.
" 
"She always encouraged me and was a huge affection with me!
I'm sorry that our paths are different now, people who have initiatives like hers are so few and deserve our respect and love!"
"I didn't know Natasha personally. Those of you who did have my sincere condolences. I know that in the few interactions I did have with her, she was wonderful, and very caring - that came through even though we didn't have a prolonged conversation. She will be greatly missed."
"Today is a day of sadness, a friend of DA has left us.
I wanted to honor her, as she was a pure hearted person with great kindness. She was and will always remain a friend of heart." :bigthumb577250712:

These news about her passing were so shoking that I just could not accept, at first, that someone so young and marvelous had just simply disappeared from our lives.
I do believe she must be now in a nice place surrounded by love and tranquility...
I shall never forget her....."

"I enjoyed every interaction we had, be it a simple hug or an extensive discussion. She was very kind and her presence always comforted me. We could talk about anything and she wouldn't judge, but rather listen and advise on the matter to the best of her knowledge (and she was a very knowledgeable person) and her life experience. To get this feeling of comfort from a person behind the screen whom i've never met in real life, from a totally different country and culture, is a very big deal to me and shows just how amazing she truly was. I will never forget her, how kind, reliable and dedicated she was to her causes, projects and friends. I'm sorry i didn't know sooner. I'm sorry i couldn't somehow help. I hoped she will feel better soon. But i hope from the bottom of my heart she knew how much of a difference she made in her friends and family's lives. Rest in peace, Natasha, i will forever keep you in my heart."
I have lost my best friend here on dA! Natascha! Nameda
I am speechless and full of sorrow from this lost!
I owe her so much and she was always a true, helpful, honest and bubbly friend!
She was from Germany like me and so I was able to talk with her in our language.
After her longer break here and her comeback she was a little doubtful and droopy whether her power is strong enough to continue her baby AWW or better to cut out this award with a lot of troubles.
I tried to promise my help and support and so the show started again.
Before she leaved forever she transfered AWW to us and I think it is our commitment to continue in memory this wonderful friend!
I think I will never forget her!"

"Natasha made me feel most welcome from the very beginning and was always there to clear any doubts or problems I had initially. I imagine she was simply just like that with all the people she met on DA and for sure in her social and private life.
I found also that she was a really amazing artist whose works I featured with honour.These news about her passing were so shoking that I just could not accept, at first, that someone so young and marvelous had just simply disappeared from our lives.
I do believe she must be now in a nice place surrounded by love and tranquility...
I shall never forget her....."
