Death is a strange concept for children to grasp, and it's always a toss up as to how a child will react at funerals. For example, many in my family thought that Mackensie would "understand" more than Christopher did when Grandpa died. They are close in age, and Kensie is extremely intelligent (not to say Christopher isn't - far from it, but Kensie is a force of nature). However, Christopher is much more sensitive than his sister, and he took everything very seriously. As a result, he understood everything much more than his sister did.
