Breaking: Rep. Charlie Norwood dies
posted at 2:26 pm on February 13, 2007 by Ian
Rep. Charlie Norwood died at his Georgia home on Tuesday after a long battle with cancer. He was 65.
Norwood left Washington last week to receive hospice care at home in Georgia, forgoing further treatment for lung cancer that had spread to his liver.
Norwood received a lung transplant in 2004. He suffered from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic lung disease.
Norwood’s spokesman, John Stone, said last week that the seven-term Republican decided to go home to Augusta, Ga., to be with his family and “let the Lord decide what to do.”

Apparently Jesus was finished with Charlie Norwood’s mansion in Heaven, and it was time. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. RIP

Charlie Norwood was one of the few US Congressmen that was a true patriot and a real conservative. If you want hear what a real conservative sounds like look up some of his floor speeches. They were truly moving.
God Bless him and his family as he will missed.
