Oklahoma City, OK: Our long-time member and friend, Charles Duncan, passed away this week after a recent terminal diagnosis. Because of the complications of COVID, there will not be any public service or memorial. Instead, his wife, Michelle, asked that we share a personal letter from her to their friends at Wilmont.

Dear Wilmont Family,

As many of you already know, one of your longtime members, Charles Duncan, passed away Tuesday, January 19. Ordinarily, you would be preparing food for the family, sending cards of comfort, and even giving flowers to brighten a funeral service.  But these are not ordinary times.

Charles loved his Wilmont family and felt that you loved him in return.  When COVID hit last year, he started putting a little extra in his offering to help cover for some of the members whose offerings were affected by loss of work or extra medical expenses.

If you are able and want to do so, he would have been so pleased to have his life celebrated by others giving a little extra time or money in his name to the church.

Thank you for all the love and support you've given to him over the years.  You were a huge part of his life.

Much Heart,
The Family of Charles Duncan

I have been missing Charles at Church for the last year. I will miss his greetings and firm handshakes. He encouraged me when I heard that he was on Zoom for Sunday School and how he participated during each Zoom Sunday School session (Thanks to Paul Gettle). I am praying that his family will feel God’s comfort and know we will see Charles again.

Michelle & family,
Charles will be greatly missed! He always had a smile and a kind word to offer. I enjoyed getting to know him more this past few years at our Wednesday night Bible study. He was a faithful pillar of our church. I always looked forward to seeing him. My heart goes out to your family, during this time of loss. I will be praying for you!
