Waverly,
I just wanted to tell you that you enriched the lives of everyone who knew you, myself at the top of the list. I wanted to thank you for the wisdom, guidance and patience that you've shown me through the years. Working with you on the board, being your neighbor and your friend have created so many wonderful memories. Today will be especially hard, remembering how you would come out to the front to watch the fireworks.

May God Bless you as he has blessed me for having the priviledge of knowing you.

Much Love and Respect,
Debbie
