Thoughts & prayers to Daphne’s family 🙏 She was a generous soul, always looking out for the lonely & even tried “match-making”… was a lovely service yesterday & appreciated the inclusion of a photo from Daphne’s missionary trip to visit me in the Philippines! 🤗
Blessings…

Our thoughts are with Daphnes family, & our sympathy goes to those left behind. We remember Daphne , particularly, calling in to check on my parents when they were in Beattie Village. They appreciated her plates ofr biscuits & her conversation over cups of tea. After so many long years of illness, we hope Daphne will at last rest in peace.
