Verizon Saves Voicemail Recording of Man's Late Wife

Every so often it's nice to cover a story with a happy ending. Here's a new one: When Verizon upgraded the phone system in his hometown of Irvington, NY, 80-year-old widower Charles Whiting lost the outgoing message -- recorded by his late wife Catherine -- on his voicemail system. Whiting would call his voicemail everyday just to hear her voice, and feel like she was still with him.

Charles said it was the only recording of her that he had.

But lo-and-behold, Verizon had actually archived all of its customers messages, and, after a couple of days of searching, was able to locate and retrieve Catherine's voice message. The message was restored as Whiting's outgoing message and, according to AP, Charles is "very happy."
