Roger Norvell was killed Saturday in a freak accident while cleaning up some trees. Apparently a tree or limb struck him. He was 40, I think.
His funeral was today at Gibson County High School -- the gym was packed. Local police officers, emergency workers, and the faculty of the school were all there.
One of my fellow church members commented that she had been concerned about some of the local guardsmens and reservists during their stint in Iraq -- we don't consider that death can come for us at any time. Roger was simply doing something that dozens of people do on any given Saturday -- he was essentially working in the yard.
We need to cherish life, our friends, our families. We need to make an effort to love completely and forgive easily.
