Friends and family of George H.W. Bush gathered for a more intimate memorial service in Houston on Thursday, where former Secretary of State James Baker and Bush's grandson George P. Bush remembered the late president for his self-restraint and moral fortitude.
The service, held at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, was a toned-down version of the stately memorial at Washington National Cathedral on Wednesday. Bush's grandchildren read from the Bible, and Baker and George P. Bush, the elder Bush's oldest grandson, delivered emotional eulogies.
