Mrs. Worsham and family: Our fondest memories are of Mr. Worsham playing his harmonicas at the singings. He will be greatly missed. Our family (the Heatherly’s) always liked hearing him play ‘Goodbye World Goodbye’.

Whitey,
Sorry to hear about Wallace. Take care and see you soon.
I am so sorry to hear of Mr Worsham’s passing. I’ve had his number for a few weeks, meaning to call him and ask him about the Worsham family for a history I am doing. Reading the guestbook, I can see I’ve missed the opportunity to talk to a special man who would have added a lot to the Worsham family history.
My condolences to you all.
