My deepest condolences to the Worthy family. Even though I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Mr. William Worthy, I understand that losing a loved one is heartbreaking. Wishing to send a comforting hope for the future based on the words of our ancestor Job in Job 14:15 – “You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands.” May the hope of once again seeing our loved ones again give you the strength that you need during these difficult situation.
