Mr. Bartlett, you influenced my life in so many ways. If not for you and your children, I would never have met my husband; if not for you, I would never have been able to partake of the rich beauty of the Californian deserts; if not for you, I would never have had the opportunity to be part of such a loving, vibrant family. You were a true patriarch and cornerstone for so many. I am so blessed to have known you. May God bless you and your family.
