Nell Dashow Obituary

Dear Debbie,
Just like your mother and father, your thoughtfulness is overwhelming. Thank you for keeping us a part of your wonderful family and legacy.
I remember meeting your parents for the first time many years ago. They were one of our first customers when we opened our doors in 1997 at "Frank and Betsie's Restaurant". Their favorite dinner was our Lamb Shank. I remember thinking how remarkable it was that such a slender person could finish a whole Lamb Shank!
Your mother always had a smile on her face and a good word for everyone. She always slipped a couple of extra dollars to our little busgirl, Maria. It was our honor to know her and I always looked forward to seeing your parents walk through our door... and always saved their favorite table (#24).
Your parents are missed here, but I know that they are Angels in Heaven.

With Love,

Betsie and Frank Zadeh

When I was a boy, I thought she was the kindest and most beautiful woman in the world. As I became a man, I realised I sure wasn't far off.

"Dear Debbie", Months have passed since your mom died, and yet, the memory of her smiling eyes, warm smile, and generosity of spirit are as vivid in our minds as when she was alive. Thank you, Debbie, for sharing with me your love for your mother with your amazing gift.

Nancy (Mother Newm)

Although I had not spent much time with Nell, she accepted me as her daughter's friend, and that brought me into her embrace. And what a warm embrace it was!! She was a loving and generous person, one I feel privileged to have known.

Welcome to my mother's Guest Book. The family of Nell Dashow would be both pleased and grateful if you would add an entry of your own.



It's already February 2005, and her absence is still acutely felt by all who knew and loved her.



This guest book will remain here until December 2005.



Thanks for stopping by.

Just as Debbie was my first friend in Glencoe, Nell was my first Friend's Mother. To have her just a few blocks away, even 55 years later, gives me a wonderful sense of continuity, one her family obviously feels as well, and always will. Happy memories to all.

I am so grateful to have known Mrs. Dashow (as I knew her in high school). A newcomer to the North Shore, I was particularly in need of the loving kindness that she blessed me with in her glance, her words and occasional touch. Her warmth and intelligence filled her home and rang out clearly wherever she was present. I am happy to say that the sterling qualities embodied by Nell Dashow are alive and well in her daughter.

I was so very saddened to hear of Aunt Nell's death. For as long as I can remember, she was one of my all-time favorites. We all knew how much family meant to her, simply by her tireless efforts to either attend or acknowledge each of our family's special events. She had a special way about her, even when she was beating me on the tennis court. I will always remember her with much love and admiration.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Nell's passing. She was such a warm, thoughtful woman. We could always count on Aunt Nell for the big family events. And of course there were the all of those birthday cards, even anniversary cards. She was so selfless when it came to family matters. . . . and if others recipricated as little as I, she didn't get much in return. I still occasionally pull down from the bookshelf a copy of The Jewish Encyclopedia that Nell and Jules gave me for my Bar Mitzvah many years ago. She was there for my Bar Mitvah, my wedding, the Bat Mitvahs of my two daughters, and she will always live in my memory.

Dear Family, I just learned today of Nell's death, and I am so very sorry. She was a wonderful person and a dear aunt (how she remembered everyone's birthday was something special!). I know she will be missed by you and I know that I will certainly miss her at all of the family get-togethers.



With love.

Elna (Brother Jake's daughter)

Aunt Nell was such a special person. She truly made every effort to keep the Bromberg family together and attended family events until she became too ill to do so. We will miss her.

love,

dolly and steve

Deborah,

Russell,

As I was reading the death notices a couple of days ago, I saw that your mother passed away. My condolences to you and to your family.

Sincerely,

Dear Jules: Jane and I send our heartfelt sympathies to you on the passing of your lovely wife, Nell. She graced the lives of innumerable friends and acquaintances. You were indeed fortunate to have enjoyed a lifetime with her. May the sweet memories give you strength and renewal. Please extend our condolences to your entire family.



In friendship, John Colman

I was privileged to have known Nell.

She was a true 'work of art' ....gracious, kind, bright, cheerful, humble and committed to her husband, her family, her friends and her community.

I cherish the times I was able to spend with her. Rest in peace.

This loss is the worst. You and I shared the best that life had to offer in the way of a strong, lasting mother-daughter bond. It will never be broken. Never. I love you.
