Grandma’s love for poetic verse taught me words are a blessing, never a curse

GRANDSON OF

DAPHNE

Daphne Veronika Stephens

An English teacher

Arrived in the UK 1955.

From Guyana

With her teacher husband

She taught for 34 years

In London. A special woman

Who loved Rudyard Kipling

Recited poems like it was biblical verse

And smiled, despite achy joints, despite dementia

until the day she died

But always remembered her grandson

Who she taught the times table to…

The actor and half of Rizzle Kicks

Also known as

Jordan Stephens
