A grief-filled woman spent months sleeping in the cemetery where her husband is buried. Then "an angel" came to her rescue.
Syracuse, N.Y. — Police officers in Syracuse, New York, were surprised in December to find a 55-year-old woman living among the dead at Oakwood Cemetery.
The story of how Rhea Holmes came to live in that cemetery started years earlier with the death of her husband, Eddie Holmes. The couple had been married 26 glorious years and were planning to finally buy their dream house.

'Syracuse Lead Freedom House' opens on South Avenue
The house is located at 1216 South Ave. in the city. It's the project of housing advocacy organizations "A Tiny Home for Good" and "Families for Lead Freedom Now."
The two-family home was once on the verge of demolition, said the Executive Director of A Tiny Home for Good Andrew Lunetta. Now, it's a safe, lead-free house that will be used by families who are forced to temporarily relocate due to lead in their permanent home.
