"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
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.
