A day in Elizabeth

As noted in an earlier post, my dad's mother died on the first Friday of August. Fortunately we were able to get the entire family together for services in Elizabeth, Ill., the following week. So while it was in no means a happy occasion, I was able to get some decent pictures during family time. As part of catching up on my photo backlog, I present them to you now. The first few are from the church basement during the post-funeral luncheon, the others are from Aunt Shirley's house, where the family headed after things closed down at church.
