Can't get contacts off my home page

[Teddydog]

I was hoping to find the equivalent of my trusty old paper address book on my Nexus 7 tablet. Have been playing around with the People app and somehow ended up with 2 contacts on my home page. No way can I figure out how to get rid of them, so I deleted them from my contacts. The icons still remain on the home page but now when I touch them, it says the contact doesn't exist. How do I get rid of them please? I have managed to scoot them to the end of the last screen but can't get them off it. Hoping someone can help...........
