Time to let go (or Mom, stop fooling around with the mobile phone)

Granada, Spain

Filomena Gómez died of cancer two years ago at the age of 55. However, according to her family, she´s spent the past week communicating with them from the grave via mobile phone. Apparently, she wants them to take the cross that they burried her with off of her chest. So, of course, her family has shown up in court to request permition to exhume her remains. The stunned judge let Filomena´s family members have their say and listened to sounds recorded on the phone. According to her daughters, their mother is saying "Ven, ven, la cruz" (Come, come, the cross). The judge ended up sending them to a priest, deeming the case outside of his jurisdiction.
