Former Disney star, now on NBC's "Undateable," Bridgit Mendler, joined her family on March 23 saying goodbye to her grandfather, John Ford, who passed away suddenly on March 15, 2015.
Seen together in photo taken at Arizona's Tempe Marketplace where she performed on December 20, 2012. Ford, and his wife, lived in Arizona since 1998. (Link to Tween Music photos of the show here.)
A memorial service was held at a Lutheran church in Carefree, Arizona.
Mendler is in the mist of filming "Undateable" shows at the moment and was expected to head right back to Hollywood, missing all the wonderful spring training games in Arizona's Cactus League.
Watching Bridgit Mendler in Tempe on her Mayan Apocalypse Eve show 12-20-12 was next to impossible. Someone had a table mobile device about 14 x 12 inches placed right in front of Ms. Mendler. Parents were putting children on their shoulders to see over this obstruction.
Ms. Mender didn't say anything. Yet she went off to the side of the crowd to accept a drawing of herself.
After keeping the crowd waiting, making the fantastic opening band, Weird is the New Cool, cut its set to three songs (they finished with Taylor Swift's We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together - sort of ska meets Flo Rida meets Swift).
There's a word for Mender, who does have a fantastic voice, Diva!
May not have been able to see her onstage, but did get to get up close with her limo.
