I will love you forever

Dear Cantrell Family,
I will always remember Judge Cantrell as one of the sweetest people GOD ever made. I worked with her in the courtroom and I always admired her and enjoyed working along side her. The time I spent working with her taught me so much. She was a precious lady and I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. I still have a snowman necklace that she gave me one year as a Christmas present. My daughter wears it now and I will tell...

Dear Family,
I respected this sweet lady so very much, I enjoyed our time at GBC. Her and Ken were such an inspiration to me in their work for the Lord. She will be greatly missed.

I just recently meet this wonderful lady. I was standing at the counter when I noticed this sweet older couple walking towards the counter. I instantly thought to myself....wow what a wonderful thing to see. I could see the love and I hadnt even met them yet. She was a lady, I instantly admired and cared for. She was a sweet soul, and I knew I wanted to know her better. In those few hours that her and her husband (Cowboy) were at the store were a very special time for me. She told me of her...

We are so very sorry to learn of Daphene's passing. Our thoughts are with the entire family. She will be missed.

I knew Judge Cantrell for many years while she set on the bench. Being a Charlotte Police Officer, I was before on many occasions. I will never forget that she was always a lady in all her demeanor.

She examined the facts and then made her decision based on the law; but she never let the law stand in the way of her humanity. She treated all parties involved fairly and with temperance....

Judge Cantrell has to be one of the sweetest souls I've ever had the pleasure knowing. She was so kind and had that "grandmotherly" warmth about her. She exemplified Christian love.

I worked with the Honorable Daphne cantrell for so many years in the courtroom. What an admiration she was to me strenght,poised , perfect lady all that she was i so admired her. She will be missed greatly outstandling woman to this community. My thoughts and prayers go out to Ken and all the girls. RIP

Uncles Dean, I was so heartbroken to hear about Aunt Daphene and I am so sorry that I wasn't able to talk with her one last time. I want you to know that she has had a profound impact on my life and I will cherish everything about her. She left a tremendous legacy of the importance of family and always made me feel like I was one of her own grandchildren!

I will always remember her gentleness and love for the children! Heaven really is lucky to have her (and Paw Paw).
