Our sympathy to Ken and the rest of Waverly’s family. She was a dear friend.
On behalf of the New England Safe Deposit Association, we will miss Waverly greatly. She was a mentor to many of us throughout the years for she was an expert in her field. Waverly and Ken loved to come to New England to visit us while taking time out to educate our association in Safe Deposit procedures.
My sincere sympathy to Ken and family. Waverly was a gracious lady and an expert in her field.
Our sympathy goes out to you Ken! Waverly taught us so much and she is greatly missed!
My sincere sympathy to Ken and family. I became friends with Waverly and her family when we lived on the same street in Atlanta. We had been exchanging emails for a few years and I will miss her. She was a lovely person.
