Wahyudi's mother and cousin were also on the flight.

The family of five (5) has been in the Bangka Islands visiting other family members and were headed back to West Kalimantan via Jakarta.

2 # Agus Minarni & Muhammad Nur Kholifatul Amin

" Married couple Muhammad Nur Kholifatul Amin & Agus Minarni had traveled to Java to attend the funeral of Amin's father "

Agus Minarni and Muhammad Nur Kholifatul Amin had traveled from their home in Mempawah, in Indonesian Borneo, to Jakarta, in Java, to attend the funeral of Amin's father -- which was taking place in Ponorogo, in Java's east.

While they were in Ponorogo, they were also able to spend time with one of their sons, who attends a boarding school there.

When the couple returned to Jakarta, Minarni's brother Yudiansyah Yunus asked her to help in securing a place at a boarding school for one of his sons.

That was the last time they would be in contact, Yunus told CNN.

Minarni and her husband were supposed to fly home January 05, 2021 on another carrier -- Nam Air, he said.

But when they arrived at the airport Tuesday, they were informed that in order to board the flight, they would need to take a coronavirus PCR test -- a process that would delay them from flying for another two days.

Once the couple got the results of their test, they were able to rebook their flight home -- but for this time, it would be on another carrier, Sriwijaya Air.

Yunus says the loss of his sister has left a huge hole in the family and that he will miss her terribly.

She was a kind person, he said, adding that she had always helped him and his younger sister in many ways. He added that she was an especially caring person and had treated her aunts and uncles with kindness.

Yunus said he will take care of the couple's teenage children, who are now orphans.

It is imperative that " all involved stakeholders, the airline and the government take this investigation seriously," Yunus said.

He added that he hopes the Indonesian authorities will do their best " to at least find their remains in whatever form" so he can bury his sister " properly, like those who pass away normally."

" That's all I hope, " he said.

Bungahilaria said she spoke with her husband--whom she described as a " very good and sociable person" -- shortly before takeoff.

" His last message to me was not to forget to take our son to see a doctor because he had a fever," she said.

Sobbing, she said her son keeps asking when his father is coming home.

Bungahilaria and Suherdi's father traveled Sunday to a crisis center set up in Pontianak, Indonesia, where they submitted physical items that could help with the identification process, including the father's DNA.

Iwan said the group was meant to fly out on January 01, 2021, but was delayed as they had to take COVID-19 tests prior to flying. On January 09, 2021, the group was meant to get an earlier flight on Nam Air, but it was changed to the Sriwijaya Air Flight 182 for an " Unknown Reason," he said.

In a story posted to her Instagram account before departing from Jakarta, Indonesia Airport Saturday, Windania says goodbye to relatives who live in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Windania also posted a cheerful photo of herself and her smiling daughter and nephew sitting on the plane moments before takeoff.

Iwan told CNN his son Riawan was 8 years old but had an old soul, giving advice to his 16-year-old sister rather than the other way round. " Our big family feels lost now that he's gone, " Iwan said, visibly emotional from his home in Pontianak, Indonesia.

" This is a trial for us. Hopefully my son [is in] a better place in heaven," he added.
