On Wednesday night I attended Thomas Eric Duncan's memorial service at my church. As you may know, Thomas Eric Duncan (known by his friends as Eric) came to the U.S. to marry Louise, a member of my church. Louise and Eric had first met in refugee camp in the early 1990s and had a son. After they separated Louise moved to the states, where she has been living for sixteen years. In late September, Eric came to the U.S. so that they could start a life together, and he could reconnect with his son. He is remembered in his community as a man who liked to joke with his neighbors. Who was always around to giving a helping hand. I want to talk about how we honor the memory of Thomas Eric Duncan....
