So many years of friendship and memories.  
Goodbye my dear friend

I will always cherish memories of Mrs. Branzell & her love of all things Scottie!
She will be iraplaceable!
Angel Beth & I will add her & her family to our prayers tonight!
How lucky we all were to have her in our lives!

Mr Branzell,please accept my condolences on the passing of Daphne. She was one of the nicest people that I had the pleasure of instructing in my water aerobics class at Gold's gym. She will be missed.

We miss seeing Daphne walk her Scotties. She brought us joy when she found a gentleman of a Scottie for our family named Mac years ago. It was a pleasure and inspiration to know someone who cared so much for Scotties and had such a big heart for their rescue and rehabilitation. She taught us how to groom our Scotties and improve their lives in so many ways. We enjoyed all the fundraisers she led. Every time I see a Scottie I will remember Daphne and her message to care for the animals. Our thoughts are with Daphne's family for their great loss. May peace be with them.

Marshall,
We are so deeply saddened by your loss of Daphne.  We pray for your family's comfort and peace.

Dave and I are so sorry to hear of Daphne's passing. I will so miss seeing her walk in the morning with one of the Scotties, talking with her for  a few minutes before she headed her way and I mine. On other days, I would see her walking as I headed off to work, always with a wave to give as she waited patiently for her scottie to keep moving. This morning I didn't see her as I drove to work and cried. I will so miss her cheerful voice and wry sense of humor. 
An incredible lady that I was lucky to get to know these past ten years.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May you have the comfort you need during this time from our loving God.

Heartfelt condolences, Marshall and Family, on the loss of our favorite "British Import."  Daphne brought love and light to so very many friends, human and canine.  Hoping that you will find comfort in the knowledge that Daphne lives on in your memories, and in the memories of those privileged to have known her. God grant you the peace that passes all understanding in this time of loss.

Branzell family, thank you for sharing this beautiful lady with us; she was so wise and kind. She started my husband and me in Scottish terrier volunteer rescue some 30 years ago. We have been a tiny part of her huge rescue network now spread around the world that she inspired and trained that has surely far surpassed the millions of people and pets saved.She changed the world for the better and left our hearts broken at her loss, but God welcomed her home where there is no pain or sadness; only love.

Marshall, and family please accept my deepest condolences- Though she will be missed by so many here, I know Daphne was greeted by an army of wagging tails there...

Heartfelt condolences to Marshall and family. All of us are spiritual beings in a physical world. Take comfort in the knowledge that Daphne is "home" now in the spiritual world with loved ones who preceded her. She will be missed by a huge circle of friends.

She will be remembered by so many for so many reasons.  Our sympathy for you loss.

Marshall, and family please accept our condolences with the loss of Daphne. She made our world so much more enjoyable with rescue. Our rescues came from the Rio Grande Valley, with out her help the Scotties and Westies would not have their forever home. Daphne had a sense of humor that was wonderful. She was a grand lady in all aspects. She will be missed so much. May God Bless you and your family as Daphne is with our Almighty Lord in his loving arms.

Daphne was instrumental in educating us about Scotties and Scottie Rescue. We have adopted three rescue Scotties from Daphne over a 20 year period. We have enjoyed our dogs and volunteering by fostering for Scottie/ Rescue. 
We would not have our sweet Callie if Daphne had not saved her and treated her for heart worm prior to our adoption of her.We will always remember Daphne and her heartfelt service to our special furry friends.

Like many others, I met Daphne through her Scottie and Westie rescue work. What began as an adoption of a rescued scottie(Murphy),turned into 20 years of an unforgettable friendship. Marshall, David and Russell, thank you for sharing this wonderful lady with me and the many others whose lives she touched. You are in my heart and in my prayers during this very sad time.

Daphne's sudden passing is quite a shock.  She was a dear friend and a stellar example of the difference one person can make.  She will be greatly missed by all of the people and dogs who were fortunate enough to know her and benefitted from her kindness.  I'd like to offer sincere condolences to her family on behalf of San Antonio Scottie & Westie Rescue.
