Travel Expenses for Eric Rosa's Family

With a broken heart we ask for your help. Eric Rosa, was taken from us too soon! As you can imagine, the family is grieving right now and the last thing we want them to worry about is finances. No words can describe the pain they are going through for their unexpected loss. We ask for you help with travel expenses. Eric's brother Nick & his family are stationed in Georgia. Nick, his wife, 3 children, mother and grandmother are trying to quickly get to the state of Washington to be with Eric as he gets laid to rest. We ask for your help in getting them there as soon as possible.  

Eric had such a warm and kind heart who always put others first. Eric joined the U.S. Army in 2012 and the last place he was stationed at was the beautiful state of Washington, where he will be laid to rest. 

Eric was a graduate of Bellevue East High School, Class of 2011, and participated in JROTC. He was also very active at First Baptist Church as a volunteer who worked with the children, he attended mission trips, helped with VBS and very involved in his youth group. Eric accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior.

He was an amazing and very loving father to his 3 year old Ezra. 

We ask for your consideration of easing some of the financial burdens for Eric's family. The family would like to be with Eric as they lay him to rest in Washington. The unexpected travel is an expense the family hadn't prepared for. Any support would be appreciated. 

Thank you for your consideration!  

To Honor Our Fallen
By Mary Akey

We will pray for peace
We will remember their sacrifices
We will cry for their loss

To honor our fallen
We will hold their memory gently
In the palms of our hands

To Honor our fallen
Our grief will flow to the depths
Of our souls, yet make us proud

To honor our fallen
We will salute our flag
We will stand for what is right

To honor our fallen
We will support the ideals
Of one nation under God

To honor our fallen
we will support our military
Protectors of our nation

To honor our fallen
We will stand to salute them
And kneel to pray for them

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 

Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
