Nick Rolla's funeral services

Donation protected
My name is Michael Rolla brother of Nicholas Rolla. I have so much to say and so much I want to say. My brother Nick was the most important person  in my life. My brother would do the world for me...and some. My dad and I have one main goal and that is to raise money to afford the right and proper exit for him. I'm not the one to ask for money, but I will not give up or stop until I can do what's right for my brother... To put him somewhere we all can visit. Somewhere we all can come together to say our thoughts... Thank you..... A family friend wrote a tribute about Nick and it brought me to my knees... Something I must share...Shannon wrote ..... "On November 8th, 1984 god decided to send an angel down to earth, Nick Rolla was born. He was born with heart problems, had open heart surgery at an early age and our family was told he wasn't going to make it until his 18th birthday. On October 31st, 1992 he was blessed with a baby sister, Danielle was born. Unfortunately she was also born with the same heart problems and god decided she wasn't strong enough and she passed days later on November 2, 1992. Nick truly was an inspiration, he was healthy, fun, energetic, had a passion for football, and loved family. On September 6th, 1997 Nick was again blessed but this time with a baby brother, Michael. Nick couldn't have been happier, he had a best friend for life now. The years of his life came and passed and so did his 18th birthday. For our family this was a small miracle. More years came and went and Nick continued to beat the odds! Nick happened to be a mama's boy and there was nothing wrong with that, he was her miracle! On June 2, 2012 Aunt Ro was taken from us because god decided it was her time. This devistated Nick. But through the pain Nick was triumphant and continued to beat the odds, he became the caregiver to Michael. Aunt Rosemary would have been so proud of both of their accomplishments. Yesterday March 11th, 2017, Nick was tragically taken from us, he suffered a heart attack at the age of 32 and was reunited with Aunt Rosemary. As many of us are heartbroken and in shock over the tragedy of losing our family member at such a young age, I see a light at the end of the tunnel, Nick no longer has to suffer and fight everyday for his life and is reunited with the one person he truly wanted to be with. As much as this breaks my heart, I am at peace with this. It's never goodbye, it's see you again. I will always love and remember you Nick and that infectious smile and love you brought." My Dad and I want the best for nick as does everyone. 3500$ is a stepping stone but we believe he deserves the best. Thank you so much.
