Nearly two years after a Michigan woman's husband was laid to rest his grave marker was moved.
Now she's being told the grave maker was in the wrong place!
Kimi Wright says this feels like she's losing her husband all over again.
After losing a 4 year battle with cancer Bobby Wright was laid to rest in the Garden of Peace at Detroit Memorial Park West Cemetery.
But peace, for his family, has been difficult to find.
Now, suddenly, Bobby's grave has become elusive too.
“No one should have to go through this,” Kimi Wright says. “How do I know where my husband is located? I feel like the grieving has started all over again.”
For 21 months Wright says she has been visiting the grave site, saving up money to buy a bench - until then planting flowers and relying on the cemetery's metal grave marker.
Two weeks ago, she noticed the grave marker had been moved. On top of what she believed to be her husbands grave was a fresh pile of dirt.
“As if I've never been grooming it and someone else was buried there,” she says. “My husbands marker had been moved over a full grave.”
She asked the cemetery for an explanation.
“She said to me, Well, I don't know what to tell you, his grave is right here,” is how Wright describes the explanation.
She also says they’re saying the maker has been in the wrong place all along.
That’s not want she wanted to hear - so I went to the cemetery office for answers.
Cheryl Berria says a couple weeks ago there was a burial right next to Mr. Wright.
“So that could give her the illusion that we're digging up bodies and sometimes the number is placed on the wrong grave,” Berria says.
“I'm tired of crying I'm tired of the drama with them,” Wright says. “I have not received one phone call to say we are sorry this has happened to you nothing.”
The cemetery says they will reach out to Wright in the near future.
