Frances Davidson z"l

DAVNOB received today the following tragic information from Jonathan.  The whole family sends its deepest condolences.

We’re sorry to have to ask you to let the Davnob family know the following tragic news, so soon after our joyful if poignant gathering in Cambridge to remember Daniel, after which we were heartened and uplifted to receive many loving, uplifting and warm messages of appreciation for the opportunity to celebrate his life. 

With profound sadness we now must inform you that our beloved Frances died this morning, May 12th, in George Washington Hospital in Washington DC, following a sudden and unexpected ruptured aneurysm in the brain on Friday. Her catastrophic illness was mercifully short, and she died peacefully, surrounded by her deeply grieving husband, daughter, and granddaughters. Thankfully she was comfortable throughout the ordeal and suffered no apparent pain.

Donations in Frances’s memory may be made to a charity of your choice. Among Frances’s favorite causes were HIAS https://www.hias.org/ , breast cancer research https://www.breastcancerinstitute.org/ , and Wellfleet Public Library http://wellfleetlibrary.org/index.php/friends

We were delighted to reconnect with so many Davnobs in Cambridge and look forward to meeting on happier occasions before too long. 

In sorrow and love, Jonathan, Joanna and Bobby, Lyna, Jasper, and Zoly.
