South Tyneside:  Lesley Emerson's relatives had put the device in her coffin after her death from bowel cancer aged 59 but were shocked when they began to receive messages from it. Shocked Sheri Emerson received a message from her beloved dead grandma from 'beyond the grave' - after a cruel prankster was given her old number. Lesley Emerson, 59, was buried with her mobile phone because she loved to send her loving family text messages. Granddaughter Sheri and other close family members continued to 'contact' the dead grandma via SMS as a means of coping with their grief. But a shocked Sheri got a reply telling her: "I'm watching over you, and it's all going to get better. "Just push through." 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.
