The Board and staff of the Community Foundation of Henderson County wish to express deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Gladys Worsham on the sad occasion of her recent passing.
Betsy you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Mrs. Worsham, you will definitely be missed by so many. You were always an inspiration to me, such a strong and independent lady that I always admired and wanted to be just like. May God be with the Worsham family during this time.
Mamaw, I will miss you very much. I have many good memories with you. I love you and will miss talking with you.
We are sorry for your loss. She meant the world to me. I am so thankful for even knowing her. She was a great mother in law. And helped us so much! I loved her so much.
I am Marie’s niece Janet. I am Charlie’s daughter. Though we did not get to see one another often, she was thought of often and the entire Charlie Kime side of the family are sending our thoughts to your entire family through this difficult loss.
I never had the pleasure of meeting “Marie” as my husband’s family called her. Charlie, her brother, was my father in law. I am married to her nephew Stephen. We are very sorry to hear of the loss, and would love to perhaps communicate by facebook with any of this side of our family. God bless and our sympathy goes out to her entire family.
Norman, we will lift you up daily in prayer,during this time of grief. Jesus will never let you down. Blessings Virginia and Larry
