She is one dynamic woman. I have known Daphne since the days of “old” Zellers (as I call it) and she continues to look better with each birthday... never changes! She is always so eager and willing to help , and if you know her personally like I do, then you are in her clutches for half an hour when you drop in to Shoppers. Without a doubt she loves what she does and I would like to salute Daphne on her 40th Anniversary with Shoppers as “Cosmetician of the Year”. Congrats my friend...... and keep rising to da top!

We always have a fun, 'sunny' talk & she's forever gracious & giving, wanting to help with #PinkDaysInBloom, a breast cancer fundraiser in support of the Canadian Cancer Society-NL, for which I am grateful to her beyond any words. Best wishes, dear Daphne, from my husband & me. We look forward to seeing you again soon & give you a hug.

You are an amazing person, so friendly and always willing to chat. You exemplify all that represents exceptional customer service, taking care of everyone’s needs and going the extra mile to do so. I know for certain that I’d be lost without your help and attention to detail and Tony loves that you help him Xmas shop for all of my favorite cosmetics. Shoppers and its patrons are truly blessed as an I to have you in our lives. You are a one of a kind professional not to mention a FABULOUS. Looking lady. Your next career move should be a face model on tv for those of us over 50 as I can only aspire to be half as beautiful as you after a long career.

She has worked there almost as long as I have been born. Yet I always say she is a picture of youth. Her personality is inviting friendly and helpful. She is a great storyteller and so amusing. I always say "I want to be her when I grow up. Happy work Anniversary Daphne. You contribute to the community more then you know, Thank you.

My first real job...Lovely tribute to a great lady. My first real job was working at that Shoppers in the '80s. One of my assignments was to cover cosmetics on the rare days that your mom and Lorraine were off. She took me under her wing, as she did for all of the newbies. I learned a lot from her (including that I - unlike your mom - did not have the temperament for working with the general public :-) ). She spoke often of her son Craig, her pride and joy, and shared stories with us about your youthful adventures. When I finished University and headed off on my career, I would look forward to seeing her at the store and catching up. Despite the fact that hundreds (thousands?) of people must have worked there over the decades, I'm amazed at how many she remembers. When I've seen her in recent years, I exclaim "You're still here?!" and she always smiles and says "Of course, where else would I be?". I will be retiring this year while your mom celebrates her 40th. Neither of us will celebrate the way we had envisioned, so thanks for sharing this. I'll now be dropping by with a belated anniversary greeting for this wonderful woman.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915699489084000183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-8528935080686925762020-04-19T09:31:39.087-04:002020-04-19T09:31:39.087-04:00Wow...what an article Craig.

You and your mom and dad lived on Glenview Terrace. Your dad worked at the post office and your mom babysat for my sister...who lived upstairs. It was a perfect arrangement. I remember your mom doing up my niece Karen like a stick of chewing gum. I especially remember her putting baubles in Karen’s hair. I think she loved having a little girl to do up and Karen certainly loved it. The kids loved your mom who treated them like her own. Yes I remember you all well. I’m happy to see how how happy your mom is in her job. She was always good at that kind of thing...always looked lovely. I’m Patricia.
