Daphne and I graduated together. She was always a sweet person that took the time to be a friend. We stayed in touch thru the years at the Farmers Market when I would stop by and see her for strawberries. I pray for God’s precious touch and peace for her mom and girls during the days ahead.
Heaven just got sweeter, she was definitely an angel here on earth. She was a devoted mother to her children and daughter to her mom. She will be missed by all that knew her. Thankful that I e day we will see her again.
Special lady and dear friend. Blessed to have had our paths cross long ago. May God wrap his arms around her precious family left behind and may they have many memories to warm their hearts. Love and Prayers
