They were two sisters who loved to dance.
Trinity and Lena Bartels were unforgettably graceful, young ladies—one shy and the other friends with everyone—who touched a lot of lives, even if they never knew it.
Their polite personalities and beaming smiles were infectious. They had caring hearts and never judged others. They loved to travel and take cruises, experience different countries and cultures, and swim, run and twirl to music. They enjoyed eating ice cream, engaging in academics and extracurriclars, dressing up and attending school events.
