Jonathan and Catherine - you have been in my heart and thoughts since I learned of Daphne's passing.

Jonathan and Catherine-
I send you both my love for this time of grieving. Daphne touched my life, mentored me, and enriched my life with her views, wisdom, and friendship.
You were lucky to have her as your mother and companion.

Jonathan and Catherine, I had the great pleasure of working with Daphne on the Museum Expansion project. She brought to that project a myriad of gifts. A calm perspective, a graciousness, a dedication to beauty and function, a sense of humor. My life was enriched by knowing and working with her. Our community has been enriched by her many contributions that will stand as a testimony to her talents. May you find peace and joy in her memory.

Although I have not seen Daphne for many years, the friends you make as a child are some of the strongest. I've know her family since I was about 5, as a neighbor and close friends. We all spent many good times together and those are some of my dearest memories.

Jonathan and Catherine,
I worked with Daphne professionally and as a parent at Chugach Optional. I am so very sorry for your loss. She will be missed.
