Part 7
The funeral is a major affair. Friends from all over the world came to pay their last respects for the talented beloved woman. Camera crews littered the front of the church trying to get a clear shot of every one filing inside. Fans clutching flowers and cards as tears flowed down their face at the loss of one of the most loved and well respected woman to enter their lives. It was a somber ceremony as a few people eulogized their favorite musician. Each spoke of their love and respect for the talented woman. How she had touched each of their lives with love and kindness. Some shared amusing stories of how they met. Others spoke of the kindness the passing woman bestowed upon them unconditionally. Always thoughtful with simple gestures that touched their hearts like a simple card, a hug, or a quick phone call to remind them that they were loved.
The world was still in shock at the turn of events that led to this day. Not believing that someone so young with such a kind soul and even bigger heart could be taken away from them so quickly. Fans around the world huddled around TV's in bars, homes or computers to watch as their beloved musician is finally laid to rest. A moment of silence was held before the church bells rang as the coffin was slowly placed into the back of a hearse as it carried her body to her final resting place.
What made the whole affair even sadder is that one person was missing. A presence that everyone could feel but no one could say her name. It hurt too much to just even think it. One person that would move heaven and earth to be here, but couldn't. No, that one person is lying in a hospital bed on the opposite side of town fighting for her life. Not knowing what was happening around her. Not knowing that the love of her life is gone. Not watching as each person at the cemetery laid a red rose on the casket of their departed friend. Not hearing the hymn that was softly sung as the love of her life is slowly being lowered into the ground where she would rest for eternity. Not knowing that the love of her life would lay there waiting for the other to join her one day.
