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."
