Daphne Jean

The brave heart that loved and is loved so deeply.

Daphne made the world a brighter place with her arrival in October of 2024. She gave us all the best snuggles, the biggest smiles and the craziest hair days she possibly could in her short three months.

To keep her light shining, and to help other heart warriors like her, Daphne’s Brave Heart was created.
