Message: Dear Bartlett Family,
So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I was always very fond of him and JoAnn. I have fond memories of my Mom and Dad and Bill and JoAnn spending time together and Julie, you always were stuck with all us kids! After losing my Mom and Dad I know what a difficult time it is. May Bill now rest in peace back with his beloved JoAnn.
