It had been 2 days since Grissom said goodbye to his wife Sara and their baby son.

"Hey Griss, how you holding up?" asked Nick as he walked into Grissom's office.

"Considering I've lost my wife and son...I'm doing okay. Thank you for asking. How are you holding up?" Grissom said as he continued to place his things in to boxes.

"It's going to be even harder without you being here, I mean with you retiring and all, and with Sara gone, this place will never be the same again", answered Nick.

"You'll do okay. Just remember that you must concentrate on what does not lie..."

"The evidence" interrupted Nick.

"You've taught us all well. We're going to miss you" said Nick as he moved closer to Grissom and pulled him into a hug.

I''m 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I''m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

"Why don't you just give up. We have your prints all over the murder weapon, we know that you killed your wife" yelled Brass as he continued to interrogate a suspect that PD has picked up on a murder case that Warrick and Catherine were working on.

"I didn't do anything and you can't prove it" the suspect said.

"Haven't you been listening, we have your prints everywhere, you have got to be the worst criminal ever. Not even cleaning up after yourself." Warrick said as he tossed the pictures taken of the evidence with prints on it.

I''m 22 for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we''re on fire
Making our way back from Mars

"Detective Brass" a young officer called as he walked into the room.

"Im in the middle of something here" Brass said, but before the young office could turn around the suspect jumped at him grabbing his pistol at the same time.

Suddenly there were gun shots flying everywhere.

"I am not going to prison", he yelled.

"Do you want to add assaulting a police officer and attempted murder of several police officers to your record" yelled Brass.

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15 there''s never a wish better than this
When you've only got 100 years to live...

"What the hell is going on out there?" asked Grissom as he and Nick walked out of his office.

"Nick get down" Grissom yelled as he pulled the young CSI down onto the floor.

"That guy is crazy, does he not realize that we deal with chemicals in here, He's going to blow up the entire building." called Nick as he tired to yell over the gun shots.

I''m 33 for a moment
I'm still ""the man,"" but you see I''m a ""they""
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind

Out of the corner of his eye, Grissom noticed another CSI walking towards the action. "Greg" he called but was unable to get his attention. Grissom did the only thing he could think of, as he saw the gunman aim his gun towards Greg. "Get down Greg", he called as he quickly grabbed Nick's fun and ran towards Greg.

The gunman began shooting towards a running Grissom who was able to tackle Greg to the ground. As quick as he had tackled Greg, Grissom and the other officers began to return fire, hitting the man several times in the chest. As he saw the man drop to the ground, Grissom all of a sudden felt a sharp pain running through his chest.

I''m 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I''m heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

"Griss" Greg called as he saw the blood forming on Grissom's shirt.

"I need an ambulance in here" Nick called as he ran towards Greg and Grissom.

"Grissom...stay with us man. The ambulance is on the way" Nick said as he applied pressure to the wound.

"What happened?" asked Catherine as she ran to see Grissom laying on the floor.

"Suspect grabbed a gun, he was aiming for Greg, Griss saved him and took a shot to the chest," answered Nick

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I''m alright with you
15 there''s never a wish better than this
When you've only got a 100 years to live...

"The gunman didn't make it, how's he doing?" asked Warrick as he and Brass walked towards the rest of the team.

"Let me go" Grissom whispered as he stared up at his team.

"It's going to be okay, everything is going to be fine" said Warrick as he looked down at his boss, watching him bleed to death.

"Let me go...Sara...needs me" he whispered.

"Griss...we need you here." Greg said as he tried to hold back the tears that were forming in his eyes.

Halftime goes by
Suddenly you''re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We''re moving on...

I''m 99 for a moment
I''m dying for just another moment
And I''m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

"Grissom please...don't go..stay with us a little longer" cried Catherine as she watched her friend struggling to hold onto life.

"Goodbye" he said as he slowly closed his eyes.

His friends whom had become his family, watched as the paramedics came running towards them, pushing them out of the way, trying to get a pulse back from Grissom.

"I"m sorry...he's gone" they finally announced.

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...ooooo...

"A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam. And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it..." Father Johnson said, as he looked on at the sad faces in front of him.

15 there''s still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15 there''s never a wish better than this
When you've only got 100 years to live...

"For everything there is a season,
and a time for every matter under heaven
A time to be born and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time for war, and a time for peace.".

Today we do not mourn, but celebrate these three lives. We celebrate what was given, not what was taken. Sara and Grissom shared a love like no other, they shared a love that created a child, a child that even though he too was taken from us in such a short time being brought to us, he is with his loving parents in the kingdom of God.

May we remember the good times, not the bad, remember the smiles, the laughs not the tears. Life can be short, or it can be long, we should enjoy the time we have with our loved ones, for we never know when they will be needed in some other place. May these three rest in peace. Amen" finished the Father.

"I can't believe that their both gone" said Warrick as he looked on at the three coffins in front of him.

"It hasn't sunk it yet, and I know that it's going to hit each and everyone one of us differently" Nick said as he placed a hand on Greg's shoulder.

"He died saving me, I'll never forget that." whispered Greg.

"We have to accept, that even though it hurts, this is what Grissom wanted" Doc Robbins said as he walked up beside Greg placing a supportive hand on his shoulder.

"I don't know if I'll ever be able to say goodbye" Catherine said as she walked up to the coffins and placed a single red rose on all three of them.

"Now we know how Grissom felt, he wasn't ready to say goodbye to Sara or his son. And now he will never have too", Brass said as he looked on as they lowered the coffins into the ground.
