Life is short.  It’s a cliche, but such a fact, even when you live past the century mark. 

Yesterday several hundred people packed a Fergus Falls church to honor Randy Wanek (pictured above), an Ecumen leader in Pelican Rapids, Minn.  Randy died on Friday of cardiac arrest.  He was only 55-years old.  Last month we lost another colleague – Jennifer Kohl – who worked with us in White Bear Lake, Minn. 

Life is short.  And even though we all know it, and we all know we are going to die one day, it doesn’t dull the loss people feel when the life of a person they care about ends.

Thank you to Randy and Jennifer for choosing to spend time with us during their precious time on this earth.
