Daphne was a kind woman who’s legacy is apparent in her daughter Linden Jane and the family she helped raise with Lin. I had heard so much about Daphne for many years from Lin, and was glad to finally meet her last year. I know her extended family loved her tremendously and will miss her dearly.

My precious Daphne I still can’t believe you’re gone, Thursday mornings will be so hard without you! I will miss your stories and our laughs. And you telling me “I need glasses “ when I say you look beautiful today! Lynn I’m so sorry , I will be thinking about you in this hard time.

I was truly honored to see Daphne every Thursday morning at our hair salon. She’d been blessing us with her presence since 2015. Daphne had such a sweet spirit and zest for life. We loved hearing her life stories and literally anything she had to say because her accent was just so lovely. She’d never let me make her a tea because we didn’t have a way to boil water at the salon and that was the only way to properly have tea. Thursdays will never be the same! I’ve never met anyone like Daphne...
