Several people started to proceed into the church wearing a variety of solemn sad colors like black and gray. There were many people sitting down and crowded around the large shiny wooden and gold casket lying there on top of the alter. Most of the people were crying...some hysterically...some shed a couple tears. If you listened closely you would hear people say, "she was so beautiful" or "she was to young to die". The most common comment that people would make would be "She was so talented at every sport she played". Finally, a tall gray headed man in about his late fifty's wearing a long white robe with a tint of red walked on to the alter. "Everyone take your seats," he said in the microphone. Respectively, everyone gathered quickly to there seats.

Father – "We are gathered here today to remember the wonderful and beautiful Regina Rocket". "I knew Regina ever since she was a little baby". "I remember every Sunday since Regina and her little brother Otto were born...they would come to my church together with their father Ray". "I would see them together sitting there in the front row...and even though I would see Otto and Regina fall asleep sometimes I always knew they truly deeply cared about god and their religious beliefs". "I am very devastated by Regina's sudden passing and I cannot believe that she is gone". "Regina was many things besides a beautiful face and some of her family members and friends are going to come up here and say a few words". "Were going to start with Regina's father, Raymond Rocket".

Ray slowly walked up on to the alter. He wiped away a few tears and tried not to have an emotional breakdown. He took a deep breath and finally calmed himself down.

Ray – "Hello everyone". "Family and friends..." "I cannot believe that I am standing here today speaking at my daughter's funeral". "No parent ever thinks that their child is going to die before them and I cannot believe it happened to me". "Where do I begin to describe Reggie"? "She was so beautiful...smart...funny...she had one of the best personality and most of all she was so amazing at every extreme sport". "She had a lot of strength for girl power and she believed that girls can achieve anything that guys can and boy was she right because she was a hell of a lot better then I was and will ever be". "She was"? "Heck she is better". "I remember the day my baby girl was born...like yesterday". "At first her mother and I were so scared because she wasn't crying at first". "The doctor picked Reggie up and tickled her little feet and boy that got her going". "She was crying like a maniac". "I sometimes think that describes her personality when she got older". "Quiet and nice until someone gets her going and then she gets angry and never stops fighting". "When Reggie was around 10 years old she started getting really serious about extreme sports". "She would compete in competitions and win almost every one she competed in". "I remember a couple times Reggie would think that I favored Otto over her and that I would cheer him on and feel it was more important for him to win then her". "I agree that at most times it would feel like that but I never truly thought that". "I loved Reggie just as much as I love my son and I will continue to have great love for my daughter until the end of my life". "When Reggie entered her teenage years I noticed she would be depressed at times". "I think this was because she didn't have a mother on her side to be with her through all the tough obstacles a girl goes through when she is 'becoming a women'." "I supported her and helped her the best I could but sometimes it just wasn't enough". "I remember one night when Reggie was thirteen...I found her crying in her room". "I walked in and asked her what was wrong and she wouldn't tell me at first". "Then she finally let it out and told me that she was upset that a kid that she was in love with turned her down for a date". "I told her that this guy was obviously a huge idiot and that any guy who turns down my daughter doesn't deserve her anyway". "This boy must have been something special because this boy was someone that made Reggie Rocket cry". "All through my life I always thought that no guy would ever be good enough for my daughter...until she fell in love with her best friend Maurice or 'Twister' Rodriguez". "She really was in love with him and I'm sure if they lived they would be getting married after they both graduated high school".

Ray stopped for a second to wipe away a few tears from his eyes. He was almost going to break down because the thought that Reggie never had a chance to graduate high school and have a life made him feel horrible. Finally, he put himself together and returned to face the people.

Ray – "I'm sorry about that". "I just got a little upset". "Reggie and Twister loved each other and I'm sure they will be very happy together in heaven and I know they will continue to spread their love to each other". "Thank you".

Ray made a quick get away back to his seat and started to sob quietly. If he didn't cut his speech short then he might have broken down right they're in front of everyone.

Many people gave little speeches through out the funeral. Tito, Trish, Sherry, even the boy that turned her down, Trent. The final person that hadn't even spoken yet was up next.

Father – "The final person that will speak is Reggie's younger brother, Otto Rocket".

The father called Otto's name but he didn't respond. The father called his name again, but still no response. Ray got up to go look for Otto around the church but he couldn't find him anywhere...

Where is Otto at his own sister's funeral? Do you think he is going to come back? If so, will he have enough strength to speak? Please review! I love to hear your opinions and comments 3
