Grandma Bass' Funeral

Eric's Grandma Bass died on January 2, 2013.  Her funeral was Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 11am.  Eric, his dad and his brother, TJ, met in Chattanooga, TN to carpool down to Kissimmee, Florida on Friday morning.  It was great that they could drive together.

I couldn't go due to the late stage of my pregnancy, and Jesikah's mid-state band was the same weekend.  Unfortunately, Eric's family were never that close to her, but I was glad that we had made the effort to visit her where she was living in Texas after going to my sister's wedding two years ago, so the kids had a pretty recent memory of her.

After the funeral, they all went to hang out with their Grandma Guelde overnight before heading back on Sunday:
