SALISBURY, N.C. — With hymns and prayers for answers, family and friends gathered at a North Carolina church on Saturday to bid farewell to Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person to die of Ebola in the United States.
Mr. Duncan’s mother sat weeping with other relatives in the front row of the small, red-carpeted sanctuary of the church they attend here, Rowan International Church. About 30 other congregants stood and sang, “I must tell Jesus all of my trials,” and, “We have a God who never fails.”
