In the short time that Falelei was with us, he managed to touch the lives of everyone who knew him. He was a beacon of strength and resilience, teaching us the true meaning of unconditional love and sacrifice. As a father, Falelei was always there for his sons. His love for them was immeasurable and unsurpassed. He gave everything to see them flourish, and there was nothing he wouldn't do to ensure their happiness and well-being.

As a husband, Falelei was incredibly devoted and caring. With a heart full of love, he always made sure his wife felt loved, respected, and cared for. Their relationship stood as an inspiration to us all - love that was built on a foundation of commitment, understanding, and mutual support.
As a cousin, I recall Falelei's unwavering loyalty. In moments of joy and times of sorrow, Falelei was there, with words of encouragement or consolation. He was always quick to extend his love, support, and advice to those around him, always placing the needs of others above his own.
As a brother, Falelei was fiercely protective, and completely dedicated to his siblings. He was the first to come to their aid, offering strength and comfort, even in the midst of his own personal struggles. Falelei's love knew no bounds, as he embodied the essence of what it means to be a caring and devoted brother.
In this time of sorrow, let us also find inspiration in Falelei's memory. To live a life that would make him proud, and to ensure that his love carries on within us all. In moments of struggle, let us remember the strength Falelei demonstrated in his own life, and like him, find the courage and resilience to face our own adversities.
Now, as we bid farewell to Falelei, we find solace in the thought that he is resting in eternal peace. So, I would like to share with you a poem – a reverent reminder that, as Falelei’s spirit ascends to a place of peace and comfort, we too shall one day be reunited with him when we, too, embark on that same journey. This poem, “Marching to Zion”, also serves to offer a glimpse of Falelei's newfound serenity in the company of God:
"Come, we that love the Lord,
And let our joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord,
And thus surround the throne.
The sorrow of the mind,
Be banished from the eyes;
Zion, in triumph, seems of grace,
And songs of glory rise."
As we say our goodbyes to Falelei S. Vuetasau, let us remember the love he had for us, and the love we have for him. Let his memory inspire us every day, and find comfort in knowing that one day we will meet again on our own march to Zion.
Falelei, you will forever remain in our hearts – our dearest nephew, cousin, brother, husband and father. May your soul rest in eternal peace and happiness.
