Daphne, was a sweetheart. In all the years we worked together, she remembered each one our birthdays and we always got a beautiful hand crafted Christmas card. I kept and cherish each one. She will be missed by all of us that worked with her and those customers she cared for at the bank. She loved and was so proud of each niece and nephew. She will be missed.

I worked with Ms. Daphne for over 9 years at the bank. We bonded over her nephew and my son’s birthday. She was a wonderful person to work with and kept the same humbleness and kindness after my employment with the bank. She will be truly missed. God bless your family, heaven has a jewel.

I’m so grateful that our paths crossed in our life times. I’m really gonna miss seeing you every week when I come into the bank. You always had a smile on your face and was always showing your support for anything Arkansas Razorbacks, and little Miss Charolette. I know that you are rejoicing with all our family and friends that have already gone on and we’re waiting there for you. What a wonderful reunion. Until we meet again my friend, you will be missed and was very loved here by many.
