    I have 6 or 7 people still in my phone contact list that have passed yet I just can't seem to press the delete icon, which makes no logical sense but I can't bring myself to do it.

    Anyone else have this problem?

    One of my best friends from high school, died of cancer a couple years ago. Not sure if any others, but yeah at least the one. Phone probably belongs to someone else now.

    Coincidentally, I noticed just today the contact for a friend who died from Covid in 2020. I didn't delete the contact.

    I do not think so.

    I have not had a friend die since I was about 30 ( 3 prior to turning 30), and that was 37 years ago. I may have their numbers in my old black book, but they never made it to the era of cell phones and email. I don't think any of the folks I did business with that would be in my cell phone have passed, but I also stopped doing that work about 8 years ago and have lost touch with most of my old business contacts.

    Yes. Multiple. And I know it doesn't make sense, but I keep the contact and texts.

    Yes, when they passed I sent a RIP text. I like to look at that text occasionally.

    I have several family members and friends still in my phone including their texts. I have also saved several of my dad's voicemails which I do listen to from time to time. It's good to hear his voice.

    I do. I actually look back on their old texts every now and then, just to remind myself of what we would talk about.

    I still have my son’s old voice messages. Haven’t listened to them in a while. Maybe I will soon.

    If you really want a mind fucc, I did delete my buddy from Facebook (even though I never go there) but didn't delete him from my contacts. I don't know what to even say about that.

    Work emails contacts when I updated them last had deceased and retired people, it is sobering to think how time marches on when we are on the treadmill of life.

    Personal phone contacts, only a couple of deceased, I keep them just as a memory, I just hope they don’t call…

    What do you do? Facebook locked me out of my son’s account.

    we won't remove posts, but that's never requested. we'll just do them a favor turn off notifications. if I know the user or do a quick search I'll try to reference something nice for them. I won't give them access to read PM's etc, but if they have their email access then they could figure that out on their own.

    Personally I wouldn’t care, being dead and gone. But I’m positive my son brought the drugs that killed him from a Facebook buddy. Facebook didn’t care. His page is still there, but I can’t read his messages. I don’t care anymore. That was ten years ago.
