The Funeral Walk

After the funeral, everyone followed the hearse up the main road
for 1/4 mile to the home.  A choir from the Eldoret Branches walked
behind singing Church hymns which was a nice touch.  This boy
with the avacado basket got caught up in the walk.
There were several hundred people including Jon and 2 elders
in the group.
The grave was in the front yard of the family home.  Cemeteries
are for poor people.  The red dirt is the color of Kenyan soil.
Many people crowded into the yard.  When we felt the first drops
of rain, we decided that was a good time to leave.
We saw a rainbow on the way home.
