Mother still waiting 9 years later for son's headstone that she already paid for

PITTSBURGH — A mother from East Liberty wants closure.

Diann Thompkins said she has been trying for years to have a headstone placed on her son's grave at St. Peter's Cemetery in Pittsburgh's Lincoln Lemington neighborhood.

But she said her repeated calls to the cemetery office have not been returned.

Alonzo Thompkins died in 2009.

Posts on the cemetery Facebook page also complain of no return calls.
