George went on a vacation to the Middle East with most of his family
including his mother-in-law. During their vacation and while they were
visiting Jerusalem. George's mother-in-law died. With the death
certificate in hand, George went to the American Consulate Office to

The Consul, after hearing of the death of the mother-in-law told George
that the sending of a body back to the States for burial is very,very

ago of a person that was buried here in Jerusalem. On the third day He
