Not sure what to say?

Carolyn-
Sorry to be so late finding out about Charles. What a nice person he was! He was all anyone could be.
Outstanding member of class of 52.
Will be missed by those of us left.

Carolyn, I was saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Charles. I remember him well from our Dothan youth, and of course, you were a special friend at First Baptist in those days. God bless and comfort you and your family during this time.

Carolyn, Scott, & Sharon,

It has been a great privilege to work with Charles at Cross Keys Counseling Center over the last eight years. I was his clinical supervisor, but it was I who learned from him. This was especially true when he saw me for debriefing after returning from New York when he worked with families of 9/11 victims. He taught me much. I treasure the many memories that Cliff & I have been privileged to create and enjoy with your family. May there still be many to...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My prayers are with all of you during this time of loss. Carolyn, my friend from church and school so long ago, how deeply my husband and I appreciate the international ministry that you both have shared. While I cannot be there for you, know that during this time, I am here with you in spirit!

My friendship with Charles Worthy goes back to the mid-1970's in Jerusalem when he and Carolyn were So. Baptist representatives there. By the providence of God, I was able to visit him 3 times in the last week of his life, and thank God for the witness of his life to God's love for ALL people of whatever origin. Wes Brown

I remember Charles as my Youth Minister at a church in Dothan, AL when I was young. My prayers are with his family. This is a beautiful tribute to a special person.

I met Charles last March when my mother was at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta after having a heart attack followed by open heart surgery. I really appreciated his continual visits to her throughout her recovery and know she was greatly encouraged by them.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Know you are in my prayers as well as my Mom's prayers.

May Gods richest blessings be upon your family during this time. My time in Junior choir was wonderful with Bro. Charles at Headland Ave. Baptist Church.
