The daughter of Mariana Kuinawai Siteri (Rakuita) and Apisai Cagilaba. She was married to Meli Komaitai, and together they had 4 boys and 2 girls. Ever ready to assist those in need, full of joy, a very skilled fisher-woman and skilled in the old traditional herbal medicines of Fiji (medicine from plants of the forest), she was a rare gem of whom all were happy of her company. Shortly before her death she and some other family relatives got food poisoning from fish they ate at a Christmas celebration meal. Although uncertain, it is believed that an abdominal aneurysm resulting from the effects of the fish poisoning may have possibly been what led to her death. While visiting a cousin's home in Savusavu town on the island of Vanua Levu in Fiji, in the very early morning hours of New Year's day, she went home to Jesus while resting in her mother's arms, as though she had simply fallen asleep.
She is buried in the Natewa Village cemetery which is located near the shore of Natewa Bay on Vanua Levu, Fiji.
She is very deeply missed, more than words can say.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They say that life is fleeting
I know that this is true
I left this world so quickly
With no goodbye to you.
I know how much you miss me
Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head
Is wet with them at night.
I know your heart is hurting
The words we left, unsaid
I love you's left unspoken
Are spinning in your head.
The strength that I have carried
That served to make you whole
Remains to make you stronger
Within your grieving soul.
For you see, while you were weeping
On the day I passed away
At the gravesite near the flowers
Where my loved ones knelt to pray
An angel came to see me
She took me by the hand
She led me to a kingdom
In a very distant land.
As I look down from Heaven
And see you standing there
Your heart so ever burdened
With more weight than it can bear.
I long to bring you comfort
I long to give you peace
I long to hold you closely
Cause all your tears to cease.
The joy I've found in heaven
Goes far beyond compare
And love that's so elusive
Can be found here everywhere.
The light is softly shining
There's no storm clouds here or rain
There's no teardrops found in heaven
There's no suffering, there's no pain.
You needn't be so troubled
Stay close to God and pray
That someday we'll be together
One bright and glorious day.
So my love, you shouldn't question
My dear you need not cry
I've gone to be with Jesus
I really didn't die.
