Grandpa B's Funeral

 On December 19th Clint's grandfather, Bob Brew, passed away at the age of 88. The family had his funeral yesterday, January 4th, in Monroe, LA. Clint's mom, Becky, had been taking care of him and his wife Blanche for the past couple of years. For the funeral Becky's 3 sisters and most of their families were able to fly down. It was the first time I had met the majority of these family members and, while funerals are never a fun occasion to get together, we all really enjoyed spending time together. I think Grandpa B would have been pleased. Here are a few pictures of the graveside service and the rest of the day together.
