Bush will lie in rest until his funeral at the national cathedral Wednesday morning. Congress has delayed votes and canceled sessions as the country continues to pay tribute.

Congressman Kevin McCarthy will be attending the services as well. President Trump has designated Wednesday as a national day of mourning in honor of the former President.
