SO SAD THAT DAPHNE PASSED. SHE WAS A DOULE FIRST COUSIN AND LIKE A SISTER. OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY AND LOVE AND PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY.
So very sorry to hear about Daphne. Praying that you all find peace. Loss of a parent is especially hard. We turn to them so much, no matter how old we get. Even if we are now the caregivers.
Though we only met once, I saw the love you shared through you son Haskell. As it is said you know more about someone by their deeds. You raised a fine son, a deed not everyone can claim. Rest in peace, you did God’s work.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your precious mother. Daphne was so kind, gracious and thoughtful. She loved her family and church family so much and her joy and talent was playing and singing gospel music. Ted’s parents enjoyed having your family as their neighbors. Haskell, Kim, and Hannon, they always held you in their thoughts and heart.
We have wonderful memories of our Maranatha family and the bond of love that has lasted all these years.
We are sending hugs, thoughts and prayers your way. May your precious memories soften your grief.
Love you all.
Sincerely,
Ted and Dot Beddingfield
