Grandma's Funeral





The funeral procession for my grandmother was a little different than any other I have participated in.  My grandma drove school bus for twenty something years, and as a tribute to her my mom drove a school bus in the procession.  Driving bus sort of runs in my family.  My grandma, both of my parents, and several aunts have or still are driving school bus.  Ryan teases me sometimes about how I should carry on the tradition, but I don't have the same ambition or desire as some of my family to drive school bus.  Anyway, the bus ride was memorable as nearly everyone from the family was able to ride together out to the cemetery and then back for the luncheon.  It was a great way to celebrate grandma's life.
