Nau MARAIA - A Quiet and Gentle Spirit

"Blessed are the dead who die in the LORD from now on, 'YES' says the SPIRIT, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them." (Revelation 14:13)

Melania Maraia Kele (left, with her daughter Ana) -- outwardly manifested "the incorruptible beauty of the hidden person of her heart -- a quiet and gentle spirit, which is very precious in the sight of GOD." (1 Peter 3:4)

After the burial, accompanied with prayers and hymns, loving hands decorated Nau Ma's "resting" place...

The butterfly explains "metamorphysis" -- "IF anyone is in CHRIST, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)

For those In CHRIST -- "GOD will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4)

Nau Maraia -- "ia na vakayalo ga sa vuni, e na ka sa sega ni vuca rawa, na yalomalumalumu kei na yalomalua, oqori sa ka talei sara e na mata ni KALOU." (1 Vola i Pita 3:4)
