Q : We chose not to bring my five-year old son
OBITS from page 133
to my father's funeral. He misses his grandfather
and constantly asks about him. Should we take
him to the unveiling this spring?
A: Before taking him to the unveiling, bring him
JAMES "JIMMY" I. RUBIN, 89, for-
to the Chapel and I can walk him through it,
explaining what happens from the time of death
to the funeral. The unveiling itself will have little
meaning. A better understanding of the process
is far more important than attending an event he
can't possibly comprehend.
