Dear Bartle Family-
Dear Cousins, I am saddend by Uncle Lee's loss, but he suffered much. Everyone has a time and now he can be with Betty.
He was an intellectual and had a curiosity that was so active for his age. I had great respect for him.
Time marches on, and now we are the "Old" generation.
God bless-
Cousin Steve in San Diego.
