My condolences to your family. Rosa was a precious friend of mine. We shared a love for the Lord and served together at Word Of Life Christian Center. Her singing voice ushered in the presence of God. Her love for Jesus and all people was a joy and treasure to me. I am praying for your family as you walk this road and adjust to your new normal without her physically in your lives. Praying for all of you.
