When Theresa Sifaga, 15, passed away unexpectedly, her family buried her beneath a phone-shaped Tombstone in honor of her lifelong obsession with cell phones.
People were moved to tears when a member of the family identified as Geo posted an emotional video of the customized gravestone on TikTok.
“The phone is just something she used a lot the messages on it are what actually matter. My sister was extra like that too so why wouldn’t we make her headstone in the same way,” Geo wrote.
Three separate phone text messages from Theresa’s mother, father, and four siblings were mounted to the Tombstone, much like regular phone text messages.
“Thinking of you Sweetheart, just like I do everyday. I miss and love you my lil Angel,” one of the 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.”
A message to her siblings also reads: “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.”
According to the inscription on her tombstone, Theresa was born in 2003 and died in August 2018.
