Updated | By Darren, Keri and Sky
It is a fitting tribute to this teenager...
This is the sad story of a 15-year old girl in New Zealand who was taken from this planet far too early.
Theresa Matautia of Auckland was obsessed with her cellphone, so her family created an iPhone monument at her grave.
This was revealed by her brother, Geoff Matautia, in a TikTok video which has over 22-million views.
