My mom (Eva) and I were very sad to hear the news about Daphne’s unexpected death. She was a great neighbor and friend, and I have many fond memories of her through the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
My deepest condolences to the family. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers. It was a joy to be in the Sunday School class which Daphne taught. I will miss her.
In Christ,
James Garrison
We were sorry, just yesterday to hear of your loss. Daphne was a friend to mother (Edythe Capps). She will be missed.
Oh my what a shock I had when I went to work today expecting to greet Daphne when I got there.
I truly enjoyed working with her. She put me, a 20 year old, to shame with all the energy she had and the willingness to use it. I have learned from her to be a diligent worker.
I will miss her laugh.
God’s amazing love to all who love her,
Sunny Williams
Our loss is heaven’s gain. Daphne was an inspiration to me since I was a teenager. Her bright smile and cheerfulness were always so comforting. She made it fun to be around her. Her gift for decorating made her home so welcoming. She was a treasure to me and I miss her deeply. I was blessed to have had the opportunity to know her. God Bless you as you grieve, know that you do not grieve alone. Lynn
