Memories and Condolences

Thinking of all the Hartlines and fondly remembering the summer picnics down at the farm. Dale was always so nice and I last saw him at my Dad, Glenn's funeral. He shared such a nice memory of eating steaks at Grandma Emmas with my dad during their navy days. As I child I always thought you had to be tall and handsome to get in the navy because the only two sailors I saw pictures of were Dale and Dad.
Keep your good memories close to heart and take joy in sharing.
Sending love,
cousin Marie
