Thanx NP...Much appreciated.  The families of both went to the Dalai Lama's sermon yesterday here and were extremely fortunate to get a private audience with him (thanks in part to this case becoming "sensational, ground-breaking news" in the Tib and Nep Diaspora here).  More notable, in an extreme gesture of faith, the families also ended up donating all of the couple's savings (more than $70K) to his Holiness' charity. May their souls RIP.
