You have one unheard message.

First message.

Hello, uh, yes, I'm looking for Lucy Verdell. I hope this is the right number.

I was a friend of your grandmother, June, and I'm afraid I have some bad news.

Your grandmother is dead. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh, I know this must come as a surprise.

Surprise?

Yeah, it's not the typical call I get early on a Saturday morning, but it wasn't the tragic news that you might think. I mean, it wasn't good news or anything. I'm not a sociopath. I'm sure June was super cool and to all her friends out there I'm truly sorry for your loss

But truth is I hadn't spoken to the woman in 20 plus years

Why I'd even be on her call when I die list was a complete mystery, but whatever, it's the next

part that gets strange.
