14 DAY TRIAL // An army widow visiting her husband's grave in a military cemetery has discovered a mistake made a decade ago – the wrong name is on her husband's tombstone.
The funerary stone features two names, one on each side. One of them belongs to her husband, while the second is another woman's.
Image the shock on Edna Fielden's face as she read “Dolores, his wife” on defunct husband, Air Force Sergeant Billy Fielden's grave stone is in Denver, Colorado.
According to the Daily Mail, 58-year-old Edna even brought her kids and grandkids along for a trip from Minnesota to the Ft. Logan military cemetery in Denver.
She arrived there during the weekend and had to wait until Monday to speak to an attendant about the error, all the time thinking her husband was buried with another woman.
“A piece of my heart broke off. I gasped and said who is this,” she says.
It all turned out well in the end, as officials explained that Dolores is interred somewhere else, but now Edna wants her husband's remains moved to Minnesota.
