"What can I say? They lied, cheated, manipulative, hated each other, stabs in the back, loud, bribed, and more, but through it all there was love between the Quartermaine clan. They are my family and it won't be the same without Edward, Lila, or Justus. I won't hear Edward's bickering or Lila's laughter anymore and that was priceless. I will never forget them." said Reginald.
"I love and hate my family at times, but it's mostly love even though I was hard on AJ and Justus. That I will never forgive myself for. I will never tell Justus that I'm sorry. My grandparents that I so loved especially my grandmother are now gone. Although, grandfather was a slave driver he was just trying to help and grandmother was always there with support. I'm going to miss her smile and I'm going to miss him yelling at me. Those two were one of a kind." said Ned as a few tears ran down his cheeks.
"My family is no more. I lost a mother, a father, and the closest person I had for a grandmother. All I have left is a brother, sister, Bobbie, Lucas, and an aunt who I almost lost. Everyone of them is special to me just as special as the family I lost as well as the other people we are putting to rest. My father was a very great and sensitive person although he'd never show that side of him to the outside world. My mother was like my father except she shared her love with everyone around her and touched their hearts. I will miss you grandma, mom, and papa. I always called him that when I was little just the same way I called Alexis mama because they were the ones who raised me. Goodbye, my loved ones with love from Nikolas." he said as the tears overwhelmed him.
He started to cry as Alexis went up to speak. She hugged him and made him sit down.
"My brother, my confidante, my protector, my enemy, but most of all my best friend. My childhood without him would've been more of a hell then what it really was. I never knew he was my brother, but I always loved him like one. I could tell him anything and he would tell me all of his secrets. He tried to protect me from Helena or Stravos, but sometimes he couldn't be there for me and in every way he could he'd make it up to me. I remember the time he told me he was going to be a father and I was overjoyed for him. When Laura left he asked me to help him raise his son because he needed a female role model for Nikolas. I knew nothing about children since I was a child myself. I was only seventeen, but Nikolas taught me a few things and I even got to see the little boy I used to know and love in Stefan's eyes as he played with his son. I will never forget the love my brother gave me nor his smile because I will always see it in Nikolas. Goodbye, my dear sweet Steffie, my brother with lots of love from your little sister Lexie." she said as she broke down in tears.
"The love of my life is gone. I really am going to miss her because she was a wonderful person. She helped me to become more than a brain damaged person, but a human being like everyone else. She taught me how to love, trust, and respect others. Most importantly she taught me to be honest. I loved her with all my heart." said Jason.
"She was the daughter I never had. Sometimes rebellious, but justified in all her actions. She was fun to be with and a very smart young woman that could've been a doctor or a mother, but now her life is gone all because of some woman's stupid revenge. I will never see her smile, laugh, or complain about me. I will miss her terribly and my heart will always feel empty without her." said Mac as tears ran down his face.
After his speech Lucky got on stage with his guitar and sang a song by Blessid Union of Souls called Peace and Love.
May every star you wish upon
And every hope you're hangin' on comes true
Out of everybody in the world
There's no one who deserves it more than you
I hope you find
Everything you've been dreamin' of
Only good things
No in betweens just
Peace and love
These words did not come easily
Still you know I had to write them down
You must know what you mean to me
I wish that you could always be around
I hope you find
Everything you are worthy of
I'm gonna miss you
But I only wish you
Peace and love
Peace and love
Tears of joy
Kindness of strangers
All of your roads
Paved in gold
By guardian angels
Wherever you may be in this world
My salutation says it all
May you always have enough
Peace and love
I let you go unselfishly
Cause everyone needs time to be alone
Well maybe time will bring you back
And if it does you'll always have a home
I sign my name
No one to blame it on because
I'm on your side
No question of pride
Peace and love
Tears of joy
Kindness of strangers
All of your roads
Paved in gold
By guardian angels
Wherever you may be in this world
My salutation says it all
May you always have enough
Peace and love
He stopped singing and turned around to the coffins.
"May all of you have peace and love where you are now." said Lucky.
Then one at a time each coffin was carried out to a hearse. Then they all followed the hearses to the cemetary to bury their loved ones as the priest said Psalm 23 which is the traditional Psalm for funerals. They all said their final goodbyes to their loved ones as tears stained their faces and the undertakers began to fill the holes with dirt.
At the Spencer house Ned, Alexis, and Lulu walked in. Nikolas went to the Brownstone with Emily and Lucky went home with Elizabeth. Alexis put Lulu to bed and then went back downstairs. Ned was sitting on the couch in deep thought when she snuggled up next to him.
"That was a moving speech you gave." said Ned.
"I liked yours better." said Alexis.
"We need to get a place of our own." he said.
"What about this house?" she asked.
"It has memories of another family and besides Lucky and Nikolas could live here." he said.
"It wouldn't be fair to separate them from Lulu." she said.
"They can visit her anytime. So what do you say?" he asked.
"We'll start looking for one tomorrow." she said.
He kissed her as she rested her head on his shoulder.
