My Dear Aunt Daphney.
You were always a pillar strength for all your loved ones in despair, which made me foolishly deny how bad things were only to see how surprisingly quick your life subsided from our side.
No words can ever fully convey the loss I feel or being felt by all the lives you have impacted with your loving and nurturing heart.
AUNTY…, you will be missed by so many and you will forever remain a priceless treasure in my memory.
See you in paradise.

In grief, we all reactively speak of the hurt we ourselves feel.
However, the warmest and deepest consequences to the ones hardest hit by this loss ( Daphne’s family ) May all of you gain comfort from the one in which she found comfort.

My Dearest Aunt Daphne, I will miss you so much. My visits to Florida will not be the same, but what lovely memories I have. One of my favourite memories is of us singing Sam Cooke songs at your home in New York. Where the DaCosta’s are there is always music, singing and dancing and we do it so well. R.I.P.

Sister Mitchell. โMomโ
Words canโt explain how Iโm feeling at the moment. You were my spiritual mother. Listening to you conducting bible study’s and explaining how great Jehovah is,
had me yearning to know more. I always enjoyed our long talks and how you would tell me to always remember no matter what obstacles present them self I must always approach Jehovah in prayer and leave it in his hands.
I will hold on to the memories.
The new system is very close.

Aunt Daphne has always been special to me, as without her I wouldn’t have got the chance to know Jehovah. I am grateful that she took the time to direct my mom, her niece, to God’s word. I am happy for the times that I got to personally spend with her in New York as well as Jamaica. She was beautiful both inside and out. You will be missed my dear Aunt Daphne. Until we meet again in paradise.
Tyrone, you and the rest of the family are in our prayers. Please be assured of our love. During this time of bereavement, Jehovah, “the God of all comfort,” promises to be a source of comfort us “in all our trials.” (1 Corinthians 1:3, 4) I know Aunt Daphne would’ve shared what kept her going during the trialsome times.
On behalf of my wife Candyce and I, please work hard and do everything possible to be there in the new world to come. Yes, Jehovah promises a resurrection in the very near future. This promise can be seen at John 5:28, 29 as well as Acts 24:15. This was really motivated Aunt Daphne, and I know it can be a source of comfort to you now too.
Love always

Daphne understood the purpose of life namely to serve Jehovah with an obedient heart.
Hers was a life of dedication reaching out to persons with the message of hope and comfort.
Now asleep in death she awaits the call recorded at Job 14: 15 “You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands.”
We all miss her, but we are confident she made a good name with Jehovah who says at Hebrews 6:10″For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name by ministering and continuing to minister to the holy ones”
May her example serves as a lesson to us all. Yes! she found the purpose of life.

I will miss Daphnie so very much and the many talks we had about Jehovah and his love for us. She always said she was very happy about the relationship she had with Jehovah. We promised each other that in the resurrection we will search for each other. My love goes out to Tyrone, Dana and the rest of the family.

Sad to say the memories I have of my Aunt D is few and far apart, but she stood like a giant for me. Someone special that I remember with great pride and love due to the kindness and respect she delivered.
Always on my mind and forever in my heart. ๐
