GA High School shuns fallen Marine-Vanity
None

Posted on 01/28/2005 6:20:31 PM PST by GeorgiaBushie

Sprayberry High School-Marietta, GA.

Jesus Fonseca Jr.

Pfc. Jesus Fonseca Jr., 19, of Marietta, died Monday, January 17, 2005 while defending his country in Ar Ramadi, Iraq. He is survived by his wife, Marlen of Jalisco, Mexico, his father, Jesus Fonseca, Sr., mother, Gloria Fonseca, sisters, Patricia Rodriguez, Gloria Fonseca, brothers, Jose Fonseca, Ricardo Fonseca, David Fonseca, all of Marietta, GA; many aunts, uncles nieces, nephews, friends and one grateful nation. The body will lie in state from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM Friday, January 28, 2005 at Transfiguration Catholic Church in Marietta, with a Catholic Funeral Mass to follow. The Monsignor, Patrick Bishop and Father, Fernando Ruge will conduct the service. The Community is invited to attend. Burial will be held in Degollado, Jalisco, Mexico with full military honors. The family would like to thank the community for their support, The United States Army and Political Dignitaries for their understanding and condolences. Floral offerings may be sent to Transfiguration Catholic Church. SouthCare Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements, 770-427-9292.

__________________________________________

Mr. Fonseca was a graduate (class of 2003) of Sprayberry High School. The funeral procession was planned to go by Sprayberry at 10:25am and pause for a few moments in front of his old high school.

Principal Susan Galante, acting on orders from higher-up's, did not allow students to go outside and pay their respects to their former student, friend and fallen soldier, citing a rule that banned more than one school function per day. (A pep rally was scheduled for later in the afternoon).

There were no announcements to the student to alert them that the procession was passing or to give them the opportunity to pay their respects other than a few teachers and coaches (2 or 3 teachers) alerting their individual students that the procession was heading by the school and allowing them to go outside.

Prayer ping.

Thank you GeorgieBushie.

T here is the guest book where we can leave our respect for a fallen American hero. Please ping your list. The family was denied their request by a school official to allow his friends their last respects.

If I were the parents of those teenagers I would take my kids out of school and then do a demonstration -prayer vigil- or something right in front of the principal's window!

Heavenly Father, we thank You that there are those who will not let the passing of this American Patriot go unnoticed. May those who have ignored the sacrifice of this young warrior be chastised by an outraged nation, for it is his blood that has maintained our right to breathe free. Comfort the family in their deepest sorrow ... give them the grace to be strengthened by an outpouring of love and sympathy ... let none diminish the highest sacrifice that man can render unto his country. In the Name of Jesus, Amen ...

Psalm 23

1.   The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2.   He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3.   He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4.   Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.
5.   Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup Runneth over.
6.   Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of
the Lord for ever.



God Bless Pfc. Jesus Fonseca Jr

Principal Susan Galante, acting on orders from higher-up's,

Grrrrrrrr!
I wonder who the higher-up's are, and why they are dumber than a small pile of rocks.

And just what their E-mail address is.
Any bets we could crash it?
