*Day of the funeral*
*Ali's POV*
So.. Right now.. Im sitting in a limo with my mom going to Keke's funeral.
They decided to have a live funeral.. So fans can come, but afterward we can stay
to say our last goodbyes to her.. I was wearing [polyvore]
I sat there in silence thinking hard. I could hear the clicks of the cameras outside. I
rubbed my belly. I knew i was due anytime soon. I was becoming sad again.
The limo stopped and it was time to get out. The limo driver opened the door and me and my mom stepped
out. We walked to the building waving to fans. We went inside and took out seats. The order
we were sitting in was.. Keri, Jae, Me, Mom, Beyonce, and Jay.. And other family
members. Fans sat up in the back.. We sat there while every one was coming. They were setting up the
stage.. We sat there in silence.. I looked at Jae.. She was wearing [polyvore]
She looked pretty. Then music started to play.. and you could see the spot light move.
It followed 6 men. Keke's 2 half brothers. Jaden and Joseph.. Her dad Jay. Her 2 uncles..
and her mom's uncle carried her coffin up infront of the stage. and stopped in the middle.
They spot light stayed on the coffin as the men sat down and the music stopped.
The coffin was so beautiful. It looked like www.google.com/imgres The preacher walked up
on stage and began to do his long speech..
Preacher: Ladies and Gentlemen.. Friends.. Family.. Fans of Kiesha. Welcome.
About two weeks ago Kiesha Tamera Knowles was pronouced dead at UCLA Medical center
at the age of 16. She was dangerously injured after being hit by a speed car.
We join here today to remember this sweet child. I knew her as a friend
a close friend. Her and her family came to church alot.. She was so sweet and kind.
She was never the one to get into trouble. She would try to help anyone in need
she knew nothing BUT kindess. She hated seeing someone sad or upset. This young
girl didnt deserve to die the way she did.. She was so young. She suffer a great deal
of pain. When i heard she made a singing group i was so happy. She always
sang in the church choir. She was the loudest one..
Audience: *laughs*
Preacher: During this remembence.. Well have singers sing.. Friends and family will
share stories and tell about miss Kiesha Knowles..
He walked off stage.. They started to play some sad song.. Then it stopped.
Beyonce and Jay was up there now..
Beyonce: Hello everyone. I just want to say thank you for coming to remember
my daughter. I just want to say.. She was my daughter, my only daughter..
She was the apple of my eye. She always had this special part in my heart.
She had two brothers at home but there was something about her that glowed.
She was always smiling even if she was in pain.. When she was rushed to the hospital..
She was at first in reality. She knew what was going on.. She was in the bed.
She was so broken.. I was holding her hand crying.. She looked at me.. and said..
" Mom.. Stop crying.. I will be okay... I will make it through" I looked at her
with tears in my eyes.. She said " Besides I dont even hurt" She gave me a faint smile.
I kissed her head and she kissed my cheek and then she went out of it.. She went
brain dead and i lost it. She was always a fighter. She never wanted to believe
that she was hurt or in pain. I loved her so much and it kills me that she's gone.
*cries*
Jay: Um. I want to say. It will never be the same without Keke.. She made
the house shine.. Always filled it with laughter. I will truely miss her and
we love her!!
They walked off stage and played a couple songs while playing sad songs while
showing pictures. Other people got up shared some funny stories, shared facts..
It was my turn to go up there. I walked up to the stage.. I walked up to the mic.
I scanned the crowd and wiped some tears away..
Me: Keke.. was very special to me.. I only knew her for maybe a year or two.
We became so close. She was like my sister. She was more than
a business partner.. a singing buddy.. or a friend. She was family...
I never thought i would get so attached to someone like her that quick..
Creating a group with her was probably the best thing i ever did..
um.. I never lost anyone so clsoe before. I dont like the feeling of it either.
Experincing this whole thing made me think about how short life is.. I dont want to
ruin it now.. I just wish her a great afterlife. I love you Kiehsa:) I walked off stage crying
and sat down.. Jae and Keri went up there. Telling stories and stuff. A couple other people
did to. It was might turn to sing. I ran upstairs to grab the mic. I started to sing
While i sang the song i walked off stage to her coffin.. I placed my hand on it. I closed my eyes
to keep from crying.. I finished the song. I hand someone the mic.. I sat back down..
Shortly after the service was over.. Everyone was gone, but a couple of this. They opened the
coffin so we could say our last goodbyes.. She laid there with a straight face. Light brown smooth skin.
Her eyes shut. She was wearing a green and black dress. She had this necklace on that was a third
of the necklace me and jae have. I walked up to her. I placed my hands on the coffin.
Me: Keke you always were a joke. You played to much lol. Its sad that your
gone though. Im glad you're in a better place. I will always love you, and ill keep
remembering you.. oh and my child will know of you lol.. I love you girl.. I kissed her cold
cheek and walked off. I didnt feel like crying for one. I walked out to the door and watched as the
pushed her coffin to the graveyard... Then i walked to the limo with mom and got in.
The limo driver drove us home.. I walked upstairs to my room and laid on my bed.
I looked at the cieling... planning for my life ahead :)
