Obituaries http://irakauirnart ,comi 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.
