Guys check out this story!laffable:
Lesley's family was assured her number would
never be used again.
But, three years after her death, O2 gave her old
number to another customer - who answered the
messages thinking they were "jokes" from
friends.
The new user then turned prankster - and sent a
series of replies when he realised his number
once belonged to a dead person.
Sheri's blood ran cold until the new owner
confessed.
The 22-year-old care worker from South Shields,
South Tyneside, said: "I felt sick when I read it, I
was in shock, I didn't know what to think.
"I'd sent a message on Wednesday night telling
her about family life and then I got the reply on
Thursday.
"Obviously we know that nan wasn't going to
ever reply, it was just something we did as a
comfort for ourselves, because she loved to text.
"So you can imagine what I was thinking seeing
a message flash up from her."
Lesley died of bowel cancer in July 2011 and
was buried with her favourite things in South
Shields Harton Cemetery - including her mobile.
During the last three years, Sheri, along with her
father John Emerson, 42, and uncle Graham
Emerson, 29, have sent messages to Lesley's
mobile for comfort.
Phone giants 02 assured them the number would
be terminated forever.
But several messages came through last week,
with another telling Sheri "not to worry".
She then sent another message asking who sent
the text, to which she received the bizarre reply
of: "A disturbing vegetarian".
Sheri added: "The person must have realised
what was going on and replied that they were
sorry."
Sheri's Uncle John contacted Lesley's phone and
spoke to a man who said he'd been using her
old number for the last few weeks.
