Piper rushed ahead to the church's doors two steps ahead of Phoebe. She quickly opened the massive door; in which she and her younger sister hadn't touched in two years.
Phoebe put her hand on top of Piper's right shoulder to stop Piper from rushing down the isle to where Sam holding the life less Paige was standing next to a very shocked and sad sister Agnes.
"Here's the baby girl that was left in your charge twenty – six years ago." Sam said cradling his daughter against his chest with tears running down his checks. "I give her back to you for her burial."
Sister Agnes just nodded and looked over at Piper and Phoebe. "You heard him."
The two Halliwey sisters just nodded as they slowly went to stand next to Sam.
"Paige's final resting place will be next to our mother in the Halliwey's crypt in the monastery." Piper firmly said.
"Of course." Sister Agnes nodded her head.
Sam bent down and kissed his only daughter on an all ready tear stained wet forehead.
"Let me show you where the best place to lay Paige; to get her prepared." Sister Agnes said turning towards the stairs that led to the back of the church.
Sam carrying Paige led the way with Piper and Phoebe holding onto each other's waists following close behind.

The Funeral
Glen sat in the pew on Phoebe's right side. Tears wouldn't stop flowing down his checks. He felt his father's strong hands on his shoulders. He was grateful that his parents were sitting right behind him. He couldn't go through this with out their support.
Jessica sat next her husband dried eyed. She couldn't cry over Paige; not yet. Because it hadn't sunk in that Paige Matthews; ½ witch ½ white lighter was truly dead.
Truth be told Jessica wouldn't shed one single tear for Paige Matthews. Matter of fact Jessica was relieved that Paige was no longer alive. Now she can finally have Glen all to herself; without fear that freaky Paige Matthew's would put her on a cliff on the edge of hell ever again; and to try to steal Glen away from her.
Sensing his wife's sheer relief over his best friend's death; Glen sent a death glare in her direction. He moved away from Jessica and closer to Phoebe.
Phoebe suddenly tensed up and gribbing Piper's hand even tighter went into a premsion. A premsion that even Piper could see due to the fact that Phoebe was touching her.
Premsion
Glen pushing Jessica out of their apartment and ripping off his wedding band and tossing it at her. Glen slamming the door and walking to the the framed photo of Paige. Glen picking up the photo and tracing Paige's image with his finger.
End of Premsion
Piper and Phoebe were relieved that Glen would be kicking Jessica out his life.
Jessica stiffened and realized that Paige Matthew's had ultimately wont he contest of who was number one in Glen's heart by her death.
Sam Crowen sat in the pew across from the pew where Piper, Phoebe and Sam Wilder were sitting. He kept his eyes firmly on the casket that held the life less body of Paige.
Sam couldn't believe that Paige was gone. That she would never walk in at work late ever again. That she wouldn't demand to be made a caseworker. Not that she had worked for South Bay Social Services for over a year. But Sam always dreamt and hoped that Paige would come back.
Outgoing, upbeat, witty, frisky Paige was gone. Just like that; snap your fingers and poof time runs out. Sam couldn't believe it.
I should have gone before Paige. Why I'm almost twice her age. Life isn't fair. Paige was young and so full of life She just started living why is she gone. Why am I Samuel Crown still here when Paige Matthews is dead. Tears fell finally as Sam blinked.
End of Part Two
