Kristine Stevenson Bartman was an officer for the Evans City-Seven Fields Regional Police Department. She found and adopted her dog named Alfred after a call to the police department about a stray animal.

Zach and Kristine Stevenson Bartman rode a motorcycle into the Cheeseman Farm's barn when they were announced as husband and wife May 11, 2013.

They changed out of their tuxedo and dress into street clothes to perform the entire choreography to “As Long as You Love Me” by Justin Bieber that Bieber does in his live performances.

“Babe, he's playing our song” — was the last text message Zach received from his wife on July 13, 2016.

Bartman of Harmony, who was 30, died when her motorcycle was hit from behind and collided with another vehicle on the Liberty Bridge after she left a Justin Bieber concert at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.

A memorial bench will be dedicated at 10 a.m. Sunday at the Butler County Humane Society, 1015 Evans City Road in Renfrew, in memory of Bartman, who was an animal lover.“I learned so much from her on how to deal with adversity. I wouldn't have made it through her loss if it hadn't of been for her,” said Zach, 35. “She was an angel, and I believe she was called back to heaven.”“She was a light for anyone who knew her,” said Ann Cook, who was Bartman's sister-in-law. “It's been a rough couple of years, but it's getting better with time.”<i>This is an excerpt — pick up Wednesday's Butler Eagle or subscribe online to read more about Zach and Kristine Bartman's love story.</i>
