Life was to short!

Hello World! Sunday April 3rd forever changed our lives! The world has lost an amazing, wondeful, loved man, but Heaven has gained a mighty fine angel! There are things that we just cannot explain and losing my brother at the young age of 35 unexpectedly is one of them! My brother Eric Bethea leaves behind an amazing wife Safiya and three beautiful daughters, Makaela 13, Amiya 8, and Elyssa 3. Preparation of death never comes easy whether its something expected or unexpected. Our hearts are broken and trying to find ways of coping with this sudden loss of our loved one. It seems like we don't have time to grieve because with death comes a whirlwind of planning and thousands of dollars needed to put my brother at rest. Which we do not have. I'm reaching out to you all today because I know many of us have been in need and someone had the opportunity to bless you and help where help was needed. A little bit from many will go so far and I can promise you every donation made makes a difference! For those of you who knew him, well you all know how much he loved his family! His wife, she was the reason of him being the man he was when he passed. A God loving, grateful, happy, just thankful for the day kinda man! His daughters, they gave him the strength to overcome struggles and to want to be a better Christian than he was the day before. You see my brother struggled through life as we all do, but then Jesus Christ our Savior saved his life! Eric was so thankful to be given a second chance! Knowing and believing in my faith i know he feels nothing but happiness and i also know he will never have day of struggling again! This eases my pain over the loss of him but it still is the hardest thing I've ever been through! Right about now I could completely break and shutdown. I lost my big brother someone who has always protected me, loved me, and been there for me. My kids lost their Uncle, my husband and my sisters lost their brother, my parents lost their only son, My grandparents lost their second grandchild, and all my aunts, uncles, and cousins lost someone very dear to them! But my nieces, Eric's daughters, they lost their superhero, the first man they will love, their provider, their father and my heart breaks for them! My sister-in-law Safiya lost her best friend, her soulmate, the man she planned on having wheelchair races with! And the love they shared is a once in a life time love! Some people go their entire lives without ever experiencing a love like theirs. I know my brother was so very thankful to have the opportunity to be loved by a woman like her! Unfortunately none of us have what we need for the funeral services. There is no life insurance policies to help cover the cost to put my brothers body at peace. So i would like to take this opportunity to ask for any donation. Whether its small or big it is very much appreciated! Any money that is raised will be put toward the cost of the services. If there is any left after all costs have been covered it will be given to my sister-in-law Safiya to help as much as it can with now being a widow of 3 growing beautiful girls. Times of death are never easy to deal with but not having the funds to put your loved one at peace is beyond a stress that just shouldn't be mixed with death.
My family thanks you ahead of time for your generosity! Please pray for our strength through this tough time as it is greatly needed!
