You meant the world to me. Inspired me to keep fighting even when life dumped a truckload of lemons, you taught me that there's more to make than just lemonade. Through you I learned forgiveness, the real deep kind. I'll always keep your memories close to my heart to remind me to be as strong as you were and I promise not to hide my sassy personality which I know had to have come from you.

We had shared the passion towards wedge shoes(you, always had the best style)Macy's sales and gardening to name a few. :) I will never forget our talks. Love to you and your family. We miss you.

Every minute spent with you is a memory I will cherish forever. I hope to be half the woman you were, and plan on passing your legacy on to my children's children. Being one of your granddaughters was the most blessed position I have ever held. Over the years we were blessed to also become best friends, and I know for a fact that heaven is brighter now because you are there just like my life is brighter because you were in it. I love you to infinity and beyond...

Even though I didnt know gramma Bartlett that long, whenever I saw her it was like I had known her forever, she was just that kind!
I'm sending my thoughts and prayers to your family in your time of grief & also in this time of rejoycing that she is now with her Heavenly father! let yourselves be comforted in knowing that you will see her again & she is in a much better place... she lived a wonderful, vibrant life!
It was wonderful to be able to know you as long as I did gramma! RIP

The light of your life will forever live in our hearts and lives. You remain an inspiration to all of us. We hope we can pass this light on to our children's children as you so diligently taught us. Heaven is a little bit brighter because you are there.
