"We'll do it because it's a mitzvah, that's why!"

44. Dziadzia was afraid, but he knew it was an Act of Mercy and that Bobe was right.

My grandfather and his siblings often used the term "like a well-matched team (of horses)" to describe their parents. They were like-minded, and where one had a weakness, the other had a strength. The funeral business they started is now in it's 5th generation of family ownership, and still adheres to certain traditions they started: 1.) Never charge a family for burying a child, because their grief is burden enough; 2.) Allow no one to lie in an unmarked grave, even if you must buy the marker yourself; 3.) Do nothing publicly or privately that will bring reproach upon your or your family, because those we serve entrust us with with a precious gift, the utterly defenseless remains of someone they love, and we must be worthy of that trust".
