An Israeli teen killed in a road accident is being remembered in death as he was in life — with a telephone. A black marble tombstone in the shape of a cellular phone preserves 17-year-old Guy Arkish’s memory with the words, “Hello, this is Guy, how are you doing?” inscribed in its “digital display.” Arkish’s family chose the unusual memorial because, his sister told reporters, “Guy so much enjoyed talking on the phone.”
