A 15-year-old deceased girl was given a special resting place by her family members which was in line with what she loved to do most
Theresa Sifaga was laid to rest in New Zealand under a tombstone like a phone because she was a phone addict.
A member of the family identified as Geo shared a video of the customised tombstone on TikTok and this got netizens emotional.
In a post attached to the video, Geo explained that the deceased was extra like that, but that it’s the messages on it that actually matters.
“My sister was extra like that too so why wouldn’t we make her headstone in the same way,” Geo wrote.
Geo added that anyone who comes across the phone-themed headstone at Manukau Memorial Gardens, New Zealand should know it’s from them.
Heartwarming messages on the phone-themed tombstone is like normal phone text messages, three separate messages from Theresa’s mum, dad and four siblings were affixed on the tombstone.
“Thinking of you Sweetheart, just like I do everyday. I miss and love you my lil Angel,” a touching message edited to her dad reads. Her dad’s message was followed by another credited to her mum which reads: “The memory of your little hand holding mine brings a warm glow to my heart. I miss you my beautiful daughter.” And her siblings Geoffrey, Giovanni, Nathaniel and Siena’s joint message went thus: “Hi Resa, we miss you more than words could explain, thank you for being the best sister/roommate anybody could ever ask for, until we meet again, We love you.”
Theresa was born in 2003 and died in August 2018, according to the inscription on the tombstone.
