I will not say Inik left too soon because that would be selfish. Inik is in a better place now, she's well and she's whole. She is also with Aki and niang Jemat, but most importantly Inik is with Jesus. When Inik first got sick, I was sent to ensure she drank water, had meals and so forth. I teased her all the time, and she would laugh at all of my jokes, sometimes til she was in tears. She loves pork, and is picky with fish. She can be sassy and funny. While I know she carries so much, so much wisdom, so much love, so much experience, she also carried all our burdens. As a family she always knew the meaning of sacrifices and I don't even have to listen to stories as her life itself shows how much she gives for the happiness and success of others. I have never and will never think of grandma as anything but strong. She fought well and now she has finished well. Although her departure will leave us pain and much sadness, we also rejoice and celebrate her life today. One that I've been blessed enough to witness. Our pain and sorrows will be for this season, but may we find comfort in Jesus. I hope when we remember her, we also remember how to be strong, how to love ferociously, and sacrificially. But most of all when we remember her, and how faithfully she has been blessed, may we also remember Jesus is and will always be good.

Aku ngai nyebut Inik nadai terlalu awal. Inik diatu udah ba alai ti pemadu manah begulai ngau Jesus ba serga. Ari Inik mula sakit suba, slalu ku diasuh orang pulai ngabas ya ngau nyaga ya maya ku bisi cuti. Ku slalu nundi ya awak ka ya ketawa, kdg kdg ya ketawa smpai nyabak. Ya sigi milih amai nti makai. Ya sigi ngai makai utai bukai, mesti ka makai babi kicap ngau asi aja. Ya nyamai dibai betundi. Ya sigi rindu ka kami, ya berpenemu dlm myuh utai. Ya amat rindu ka kami enggau slalu mai kami dalam sampi ya. Aku deka seruran ngingat ka Inik sebagai Inik ti kuat, kering. Inik udah bendar belaban ngelaban penyakit ya. Diatu ku percaya ya udah gerai ngau begulai ngau Apai di serga. Diatu kami sigi sinu ngenang nuan ti udah nadai Inik, tang saritu kami ngau gaga ati ka ngenang pengidup nuan Inik. Taja pan aku bedau ulih nerima brita nuan udah nadai, tang aku amat amat bersyukur ulih begulai ngau nuan tiap kali maya gawai terutama skali gawai taun tu. Kami deka slalu ingat ka Inik, ingat ka penyayau ya ngagai kami. Tang kelebih agi kami deka slalu ingat ka kesetiaan Inik enggau betapa pengidup Inik udah diberkat. Awak ka ati senang ngau bersyukur dalam Yesus ari tuk, laban ea udah pulai. Awak kami tuk, ingat Inik, kekuatan ea, cinta ea pada kami. Namun yang paling penting tuk awak kami tuk ingat kesetiaan Inik pada Yesus lalu ingat Yesus kami tuk selalu baik ati. Selalu dalam ati kami selamanya.
Isaiah 61:3 Meri ngagai sida ke ngulit di Sion Pengaga enggau pengelantang, kena nganti ati ti tusah, Pantun puji, kena nganti ati ti sinu. Sida deka nyadi baka kayu Ti ditanam TUHAN. Semua sida deka ngereja utai ti ngena, Lalu Allah Taala deka dipuji ketegal semua utai ti udah dikereja Iya.
Till we meet in heaven, meanwhile, party for us aight Inik?
