‘It’s marvellous’: Widower is reunited with wife’s voicemail

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

A husband described the moment he heard his late wife’s voicemail message after it was accidentally deleted from his phone as “marvellous”. Stan Beaton, from Mirfield had kept the voicemail since his wife Ruby died in 2003 but the message was deleted after a phone upgrade from Virgin Media. Stan said he listened to the voicemail when he felt “down in the dumps” and was immediately “cheered up”. He added “Ruby’s voice was more important than anything else. It really did devastate me when it went missing.” The telecoms company managed to recover the message and are giving copies of it to Stan. This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on January 28th 2015.
