I am saddened to hear of Daphne's (Nurse Lodge) passing. I had the distinct pleasure of working with Daphne from 1973-1983. She was a dedicated, competent and compassionate Registered Nurse who always supported her patients and their families with the utmost care and respect. Likewise, she supported and cared deeply for and about all of those wonderful women and men who made up the team providing care for the people of the catchment area served by the Port Saunders Nursing Health Centre. Daphne was the ultimate professional and a loyal friend. I remember well Daphne's kindness on my arrival in Port Saunders in my first posting to a Nursing Station. She became my mentor and friend over my 10 year tenure in Port Saunders and I have not and will not forget her generosity of spirit and kind nature. As with me, she care deeply and looked out for everyone on the team. Daphne was a devoted wife, mother, community member and friend. She would lovingly share stories with us about the love of her life, Jack and the apple of her eye, her daughter Darlene. I remember Daphne's beautiful smile and the twinkle in her eyes when she smiled and on display in the attached pics from our time at the Port Saunders Hospital. She was the ultimate professional, devoted wife and mother, proud citizen and loyal friend. By any measure on the humanity scale, Daphne excelled. Daphne's was a life well lived and is, without a doubt, resting now the in arms of God.
