Saying good-bye[Rose's funeral-open]

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The girl had been so innocent, and definately too young to die. Colonus had supposed that she had been starving herself or something to that affect to end up dying. He had only known the girl for a few days before she died, but he felt like he had known her forever. He knew had to say something on behalf of the girl, to say goodbye.

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby

"Friends, family, honored guest, we are gathered here today to celebrate the life of a young girl who is no longer with us. Rosalina Carterson passed away a few days ago from what is known as a broken heart. In her life, she suffered some terrible losses which included the death of both her parents and her older sister to fires that tore through her home and her barn. We wish to not mourn for her death but celebrate her life and believe that she is now in a better place. If anyone would like to say a few words to the rest of the crowd, feel free to step forward. Perhaps you may wish to share a story or tell of how you met or something like that. Thank you once again for coming." Said the man running the funeral.

Well, I've had just enough time

Walking up to the front, he spoke up. "Rose was a beautiful and caring young girl. She was so nice to my family and I and I wish her life could've lasted longer. Unfortunately she is no longer with us, but I know she will live on in out hearts." He says, beginning to tear up a bit. He returns to his seat and Tiara and Boves each give him a hug. They all look back up front to see if anyone else has something to say.

He knew that the girl would be happier and in a better place now. She would be with her family, welcomed in like nothing had ever happened. He wipes the tears that were beginning to form in his eyes and silently cried. What he remembered the most was when his parents died. He was at their funeral and had cried his eyes out. The pain of their deaths had just then returned to him. He had been practically brought up as an orphan, but Tiara's family took him in. Colonus knew that if Rose was still alive, he would've taken her in in a heartbeat.
