Eulogy


Wilbum Elvin Hamm Sr. was born on March 15,1946 to Mr Ira Hamm
and the late Anesta Hamm of North Sound Virgin Gorda.
On December 22nd ,1972 he married the love of his life, Alice
Donovan This union blessed them with one son, Wilbum Jr.
During his favorite years, Wilburn attended the St. Mary's Anglican
School in Virgin Gorda. With a strong desire to excel, he migrated to
Kansas City, enrolled in Kansas City High School and in 1973 graduated
with a high school diploma. After completing high school, he enrolled in
Kansas City Bible College. In 1984 he graduated with a bachelor of arts
degree in Religion.
Upon completion of his education, he and his family returned to St
Thomas in 1984. He taught Sunday school seminars for awhile, then in
1985 he and his family moved to Anguilla as missionaries. He was the
Pastor of the Anguilla Church of God (Holiness) for six years. He was
instrumental in starting the pre- school at the church before returning to St.
Thomas in 1991.
With a strong conviction to serve the Lord and win lost souls to His
kingdom, he started a radio ministry on ZBVI radio station which was
called Workers Together With Christ".
Wilburn worked as a security guard for Hus and Nick, later moving on
to be a security officer at the University of the Virgin Islands and part time
at D.O.G.S. security agency.
Wilburn was a wonderful husband, father, brother, and friend. There
were two things he wanted, one was to see his son, Wilburn Jr graduate in
May from college and see him get a start in life.
On Sunday March 7, 1999, God called Wilburn to his eternal rest where
there is no more sorrow, no more pain. Weeping may endure for a night but
rest assure joy cometh in the morning. He has fought a good fight, he has
finished the course, he kept the faith.

May His Soul Rest In Peace

Dear Sister Alice & Family
"Reflections of one of my first sons in the Lord."
It's never easy to see your loved one suffer but it's majestic to
observe that this same sufferer is calmly composed and radiantly
peaceful uttering such words as Sis G: it's all right- whatever the
Master wants is ok with me." Therefore, be encouraged and be strong
in faith and hope. Remember the Master said I'll never leave you or
forsake you.
