Heart and soul

Kerteh gang have planned to visit pusara arwah & arwah’s family at least once a month. Our next visit will be on Friday, 02/03/06 morning, insyaallah.
In case any of you want to visit, the address is 3B, Desa Sri Jenaris, Sg Kantan, 43000, Kajang , S'gor. House phone # is 03-87362546


Anyway, I know this came a bit late, but I just realised I didn’t put the accounts of the day itself, just for memory’s sake, not meant to stir emosions, appologies if I did.
I went to arwah's funeral on mon 24/4/06, but reached a bit late. Arwah dah dikebumikan masa sampai. I was a bit stunned that i couldn't see arwah's face for the last time. But friends told me, her face was a picture of pure and calm. and no bruises either, except a bit of swollen arms due to the impact. And she passed away immediately, so she didn't feel any pain.

Arwah's parents & Baby went to kemaman to identify her. They reached there 4am, and arwah's mom mandikan sendiri jenazah arwah. Then after solat jenazah, they took off back to KL 6am, and reached Kajang 12.30 noon. Solat jenazah at Kajang, then immediately buried at Tanah Perkuburan Islam Desa Sri Jenaris, very near to arwah's family home.

Baby was OK, playing as usual that afternoon. but friends said she cried and made quite a scene earlier - letting it all out. It's better for baby to release it than keeping it inside.

We went for arwah's tahlil a week after that on 30/4. Baby was cheerful. we can't stop thinking how they really look similar to each other.

We had a chat with arwah's mom - she told us that arwah's dad couldn't stand looking at her clothes (which were taken back from kerteh), and asked them to be kept in a box. As soon as he reached back from kerteh to take arwah's belongings, he bought a display cabinet and put arwah's belongings in there - her teddy bears, watch, picture frame etc. the cabinet is put right in front at the living room.

Before ending, I would like to put a quote from K Lina : “Izma doesn’t belong permanently to us, her dear friends, because she’s only lent to us by the Almighty. Just be thankful that we had the opportunity to meet and know her for all the happiness she brought to us. Learn to let go and cherish all the fond memories that we’ve had of her. She’d never let us all to be sad, and she’ll be very happy that we remember & treasure our precious memories of her”
