Reflections in the Adirondacks

Question 3

Honoring the Names on our Phone ....

Accepted Answer

As people die, their names stay in the contact list of our phones.

I have about 20 names that have died in the last 2 decades.  Should we delete the names?  That feels strange.  But, each time I see their name it feels awkward.

What if phones allowed you to grey out the name and perhaps add a year they died or other word.  And, you could select if you wanted to see all of the contact names or just the ones that are alive.  Or, allowed you to click on the name and go to a page about them.
