To Danny, Elyse and Family,
There are no words... Our condolences, thoughts and love are with you all.
Donna and Nancy

Your family has been so important in my life and we have had our share of sorrows but my heart breaks for your loss. I know her memory will be a blessing and we send our deepest love and condolences.

Words fail me in this expression of sympathy upon the incomprehensible passing of your beloved daughter, Devra. I have known you both, Elyse and Danny for so many years, independently and through your Aunt and Uncle, Mimi and Lou. I kept abreast of your daughter's incredible talent. This loss is insurmountable. I pray that time and your many fond memories help to ease the pain of loss because nothing can ever fill the dreadful void Devra's passing has created. My prayers and warm...

I live streamed the Funeral of your Blessed Devra yesterday. I saw the obit in the NYTimes. You do not know me, but your Uncle Louis was my moral compass growing up and he and Mimi were dear friends of my parents. I also know your grandmother, who lived with them. So I always felt a connection to you Rabbi Frishman and was so proud of you. Your family is amazing and yes your Devra is a blessing. My heartfelt condolences to you all.

Elyse, Danny and your loved ones, please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you and our hearts are heavy as you grieve your loss.

Devastating and tragic news; my heart goes out to all of you.
Warm hugs and condolences,
Connie

My heart breaks for her entire family, URJ community, and all those who knew Devra closely or through her art. I send my love to you during this tragic time.

Rabbi Freelander, Words cannot express my sorrow in finding out about Devra. I know that the real meaning of her life isn't in words, but in deeds. For that, she rose above others. She was an incredible creative being. I pray for the time that you will be able to move from this all encompassing grief to a time when memories are sweet. I am so sorry to hear about this tragedy. Holding your family closely in my heart.

Extending My Deepest Sympathy And Heartfelt Condolences. May God give you Courage, Strength, Comfort, and Peace. Psalm 31:3,24. May precious memories be treasured & bring you a measure of comfort
