God Speed

Sad, sad, sad... Funeral services were yesterday for U.S. Army Sgt. Cory L. Clark, who was killed in Afghanistan when an IED exploded as his unit was crossing a bridge. His family welcomed us into the church and at times, the three-hour long service felt more like a Sunday sermon, complete with amazing music and people standing and swaying to the beat, than it did a sad occasion to say goodbye. But I think that's how his mother Wrenita Codrington and wife Monica Clark wanted it. After all, it was called "A Homegoing Celebration" on the program for a reason.
