- More than 200,000 people are buried in Crown Hill Cemetery under the colored trees where families can grieve their loved ones.
"We've been having such a hard time trying to get this right," said LaTonya Jackson.
Jackson and her nephew Michael Williams said their mom and grandmother, Linda Durgan, doesn't rest in peace, and their grief hasn't found peace either.
"The headstone. It's really been bringing a lot of anxiety to us and a lot of stress, because it should have been done a long time ago," Jackson said.
Durgan died in December 2025. The family buried her in January and paid for her headstone in February. Nine months later, a temporary plate the cemetery planted in April still stands on Tuesday morning.

- President Donald Trump was in Texas for the third time in a month on Tuesday in a last-minute push to block Democrats from notching their first statewide election victory in more than three decades in next week's midterm elections.
Trump was in Corpus Christi and will later travel to Lubbock to boost Republican Ken Paxton’s competitive U.S. Senate campaign against Democrat James Talarico. Not ceding the stage to the presidential spotlight, Talarico was in Amarillo, where he assailed a “broken, corrupt” political system. Like Trump and Paxton, he'll later appear in Lubbock.
