Anyone else have difficulty deleting these types of numbers? Or voicemails?

My brother and my dad have both been gone for 7 years and I still just cant bring myself to delete their phone numbers out of my phone.

Man I've got my Memaw in my phone and she's been dead for almost 15 years. Hold onto it.

I still have my brother’s contact in my phone.


The bad thing is my parents kept his phone and every so often when they have an issue with theirs my dad will use that one.

Talk about ripping open an old wound.

I lost my dad a year ago last Thursday. I deleted his number from my phone a little while back, but have kept all his voicemails.

I still have two of my grandparents landline and cell phone numbers in my phone. They passed away when my 9 year old was about 2. Just can't do it.

I don’t delete them. A few months ago we were planning on hosting a party. So I start scrolling through my phone, from A to Z, making a list of invitees. By the time I was a little over half way through, I was shocked at how many dead people I had in my phone.

A buddy of mine died way too young and I didn’t delete his number for the longest time. Phone rang in the middle of the night a month or so after his death and it was his name that showed up. Freaked the shite out of me. I didn’t answer it so I don’t know if someone had his phone and was f-ing with me or what

Little tip on the voicemails- you might want to save them as voice memos so they are kept in the cloud, in the event there’s an accidental or expiry deletion of the voicemails

That's rough. Did they die together? I wouldn't delete them.
