Chapter 95 ~ Funeral

Dixies Pov:

Mrs. Beck wasnt calming down so my mom asked Tatum, Noah and Mr. Beck to get up so she can talk to her. My mom stooped down by Mrs. Beck and held one of her hand in both her hands

Heidi: Amy, you shouldnt be here. It will be difficult to watch a child that you had in you for nine months then pushed out and raised, burn today. I think that its best for you to go back home with one of the car

Amy: Thats my eldest baby

Heidi: I know but you cant be here. It wont be any good for you

Pastor: Yes Mrs. Beck, you shouldnt be here. You need to leave because it will make the funeral more difficult since you cant pull yourself together

Tim: Go with her Dix. You shouldnt really be here either before you get too much of an emotion and your baby cant handle it

Dixie: Bean will be fine. We are here to attend my elder sister funeral

Mrs. Beck and my mom got up then she hugged Mr. Beck and left in the Becks car. Everyone walked up to Hailey and stood by her, but not to close

Pastor: We are here to acknowledge the death of Hailey Beck. She was someone sister, girlfriend, daughter, cousin, granddaughter, neice, friend and sister-in-law. Would anyone like to say anything before i say my prayers and light her on fire?

Tim: I would like to go

Mr. Beck walked up to the pastor and looked at Hailey between the woods as he began speaking then Noah walked up to me and put a hand around me and i held his hand

Tim: Hailey.........She was a lovely kid, difficult at first though. When Amy first told me that she was pregnant with Hailey, i was beyond happy to start our family. We knew nothing about parenting so it was hard in the beginning with her but gradually we got used to it and we became good at it. I remember it had this one time when Hailey was small...probably about 3 years old and she was hungry and both Amy and i was asleep so she went into the kitchen and tried to make herself cereal and milk but threw it down everywhere. She was always a very helpful child. Her boyfriend couldnt make it here today since he has an appointment to see a councilor since Haileys death. She is such an important person to everyone and i hate that this happened to her

Noah started tearing up as he pulled my head to lean on his chest and rest his chin on it. Tatum was holding onto Char and Madi with tears streaming down her face and even though i feel like tears will escape my eyes, i keep shutting my eyes tightly then opening them because i have to be strong for everyone, especially Noah

Pastor: Do you have anything else to say for her or a prayer or anything before someone else comes up?

Tim: Yes actually. Amy wanted to say this prayer for Hailey here but since she isnt here i will say it *starts saying prayer*

Holy God,

Assure us that Hailey Beck is safe in your eternal love. Help us understand our sorrow, and strengthen us with hope. We pray that we overcome this sadness, in the confidence that Hailey is in a better place with you.

May Jesus Christ welcome her into his arms and bless her abundantly.

Amen.

Mr. Beck walked back over to us then Noah walked up by the pastor

Noah: Today isnt an easy day and i wasnt expecting it to be. When Hailey died, i feel like i changed into someone else. Im not the same person that i used to be when Hailey was alive but im getting there again. She was always a kind hearted soul. After Dix and i broke up, she helped me think about other things and made me think about how much i love Dix and how i fucked up. She would always help with homework, chores and just be there for me whenever i need a support person. I love Hailey and i know that after this funeral, she will be able to rest in peace and be happy wherever she is now
