To the Worsley family,



"Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." John 11:25



As you read the above scripture in your personal copy of the Bible, May Jehovah God grant you the peace and endurance you need.

Mrs.Worsley and family:

May God grant you mercy,peace, joy and grace as you adjust to this new pharse in your life without Mr. Worsley being there physically, but just listen, can't you see him smiling and laughing. He may even tell you a joke or two. He certainly enjoyed life. God blessed him with much happiness.

I am grateful for the joy he shared with my family and I, especially Sherri. He was a real inspiration to her. He will be missed at St. Philip, but not forgotten. I pray that God will continue to shower each of you with his blessing,love, mercy and protection. I look forward to talking with you later.

Lovely, Mattie B., Joseph,& Sherri Johnson

Mr. Worsley was a gentleman in every sense of the word and expressed his faith by how he lived daily. He always had a hello and encouraging words for people he met. His neighbors will miss him greatly and we pray for Sam's family in this time of loss.
