After the funeral and the meal, we travelled back out to the funeral site.

Here’s Aunt Jana, Mom, Daddy King & Aunt Karen over Momma King’s resting place:

Post Funeral

Tuesday, October 4th, 2005

After the funeral, the church had prepared a meal and a place for the family members to gather. I wanted to take a shot of all the food but would have needed a panoramic lens.

Here are Darren, Jason & I:

and with cousins Deena, Amber & Heather:

Momma King

Tuesday, October 4th, 2005

For those of you who don’t know, my Grandmother (Momma King) passed away early morning September 20th. Mom and Aunt Karen were with her in her last moments. It’s definitely a sad time for our family… though it’s comforting to know Momma King’s now in a happier place.

I flew down to Dallas to attend the funeral. Here we are in Mom & Dad King’s place gathering for dinner the evening before the funeral (Aunt Darla with Daddy King):

Harley Ridin’

After the Birthday Bash, we went to dinner at Turner Corner’s Cafe.

On the weekends, the North GA mountain roads attract many bikers. While waiting for dinner seats, we “borrowed” a Harley for Bailey’s first shots in the seat of a motorcycle:

She seemed to enjoy the motorcycle (it woke her from her day-long nap). Unfortunately, she may be inheriting her mom’s tomboy tendencies…
