I've gone through this recently and basically you wait a few months and then you delete it. If you don't it starts eating at you.

Im of this thinking.

I leave them there until I stop thinking about their passing on a regular basis, then I remove the contact.

Id like to think they dont want me going about my business during the day and just randomly get reminded "Hey! incase you forgot, Josh is dead" while Im trying to call Joselyn about mundane work shit.
