Duties of a son, from The Story of Aqhat: To erect a stele for his ancestral gods; to build a family shrine in the sanctuary; to guard his footsteps from earth to underworld; to take his hand when he is drunk; to put his arm over one's shoulder when he is full of wine; to eat a funeral meal in the temple of Ba'al; to offer a sacrifice in the house of El.

Thank you all for your prayers. My father, James F. Ross, passed away today. Two weeks ago he had open heart surgery to replace an extremely compromised heart valve. He was in good spirits and optimistic about the surgery, but unfortunately he simply wasn't strong enough to make it through. I do not yet know the date of his memorial service. If you want information about this, you may email me at rebekahross@vei.net. He is survived by his wife, Joyce Gillard, and his three children, Deborah, Steve, and Rebekah (me).
