Family of hostage Keith Siegel buries its matriarch, 424 days into his captivity in Gaza

JL;DR SUMMARY In Durham, North Carolina, the Siegel family gathered to bury their matriarch, Gladys Siegel, who passed away at 97 unaware that her youngest son, Keith Siegel, remains a hostage in Gaza after 424 days.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
