During my first tour of the states, I was terrified. Daffney made everyone feel loved, welcomed and was such a truly beautiful soul 💔

To anyone struggling, you are not alone. You are loved. Check in with your loved ones.

My heart hurts. Daffney was a beautiful person. I'll always remember her infectious laughter and voice, and the way she beamed when she entered the room and much more
