Mike and Tina took to the stage next. He held her hand as they approached the band, and after brief discussion they stood center stage. They stood there hand in hand gazing out at their friends. Mike took a deep, shaky breath before he spoke,

"Finn was an inspiration," Tina nodded beside him as she wiped her eyes. "It wasn't often that you found a quarterback, hell, a dude for that matter, who was willing to step out and say I love glee club," he said. "But because he was brave enough and wise enough to know that being in glee club didn't make you any less of a man, I found all of you. I found out that when you dance outside of your room, people will appreciate your talent. Dancing is all I've ever wanted to do with my life," Mike said clearing his throat. "I thought that I would have to give up my dream of ever having people watch me dance and truly see me because of stuff with my dad; but Finn inspired me," he said fondly. "He made me realize that I shouldn't be afraid to scream out loud that I'm talented and that if dancing was what I wanted to do, then I should do it and not let anyone stop me," Mike paused for a moment. "Finn did that for me. He was special, important, inspiring and he was my friend." He squeezed Tina's hand and she wiped her wet face.

"Finn was my best friend," her voice thick. "I know what you're all thinking. 'Tina that's not true.'; but it is," she nodded. "Finn and I shared a bond that none of you knew about. We sat beside each other in glee club, our lockers were close by. I remember one time..." she chuckled. "One time, Finn had gotten a new bright blue cap. We were standing by his locker and he had tried it on to show me and Sue came barreling down the hall, took the hat right off his head and threw it," she said causing everyone to laugh. "The best part was Finn's reaction to the whole thing. She threw the hat and just kept rampaging. I went down the hall a bit and grabbed it before it got trampled. When I brought it back to him, he thanked me and said with the most serious face I've ever seen, 'I wonder what Mr. Schue did now,'" Everyone in the room laughed. "Mike was right though, Finn was an inspiration. He inspired all of us to be ourselves and to be our best selves. Not many people are able to touch people in the way that he did," Tina said wiping more tears away.

"But us in this room, weren't the only people that our friend touched," Mike added. "Before we start we would like to bring out four more people whose lives Finn touched." A moment later, Ryder Lynn came on stage holding the hand of Unique Adams, who was followed by Jake Puckerman holding the hand of Marley Rose. "These guys knew a different side of Finn. They knew him as a teacher."

"I knew Finn the teacher. I mean it was hard at first to adjust to but he was truly good at it and I could tell that he loved it," Tina commented.

"But we all knew him as a friend," Mike said. "That's why Tina and I chose this song," he said with a nod to the band. They began to play a smooth ballad.

Sorry, I've never told you, all I wanted to say

And now it's too late to hold you

'Cause you've flown away

So far away

Mike crooned in a gentle voice.

Never had I imagined

Living without your smile

Feelin' and knowing you hear me

It keeps me alive, alive

Tina sang, gripping Mike's hand tightly.

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And I know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day

Eventually I'll see you in Heaven

The six of them sang together as they swayed gently to the music. Unique squeezed Ryder's hand as Marley placed her head on Jake's shoulder.

Finn, I never showed you

Assumed you'd always be there

I, I took your presence for granted

But I always cared

And I miss the love we shared

Tina sang passionately, tears in her eyes.

I know you're shining down on me from Heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And I know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day one sweet day

Picture a little scene from Heaven

The group sang together again with wet faces.

Although, the sun will never shine the same

I'll always look to a brighter day

Mike sang, pulling Tina closer to him when he felt her shudder next to him.

Yeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleep

You will always listen as I pray

Tina belted out, her arm wrapped around Mike's waist for support.

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And I know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And I know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day

The six former members of New Directions sang tearfully. After a brief pause, Mike and Tina softly ended the song,

Sorry, I never told you

All I wanted to say

There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Mike, Tina, Ryder, Unique, Marley and Jake group hugged before they all returned to the seats in front of the stage.
