had the pleasure of welcoming six grandchildren and six
great-grandchildren into their family; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Bartoli and her husband spent untold memorable
hours happily gliding across dance floors to the admiring glances
of other couples; in addition to devoting her time to caring for her
own family, this gracious woman extended her maternal concern to
the well-being of others; and

Bartoli made an indelible impression on all those fortunate enough
to know her, and she will forever hold a treasured place in their
hearts; now, therefore, be it
