Natalie lost her mother at just 26 years old, the same age as her famous first cousin Kylie Jenner.

On Tuesday, Natalie made a post on Instagram with multiple throwback photos of her mother and a heartbreaking message for Karen.

The pictures show her mother from several decades ago, and she shows a striking resemblance to her sister Kris.

A few of the pictures Natalie shared also showed some pictures of their mother Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell.

Her Instagram message started: “Dear Mommy,

“I can’t believe you’re gone. This doesn’t even feel real. I keep hoping that I will get to hug you or kiss you or hear your voice one last time.”

She went on to call Karen her “best friend,” “my everything,” and “the best mother a daughter could ever ask for.”

Natalie continued: “You were the most kind, sweet, loving, giving, and caring soul. You had the biggest heart.
