To the Schwartz and Lenga Families I send my deepest condolences for the loss of your precious Aliza. I always looked forward to seeing her at the annual Rochwerg picnics and the OMBS meetings. She was a fountain of information about family history and I remember Aliza and Pnina having many talks with my mom, Chaicha sharing stories of other Ozrower/Rocherg relations. I know Aliza will be sorely missed but I hope that all the wonderful times you shared will help to bring you comfort in the difficult days ahead.

David and Andrea Kirshenblatt

Dear Meir and family. Andrea and I are heartbroken at the loss of Aliza. We will always remember her as a vivacious woman who always had a smile on her face no matter how she was feeling. She was always welcoming when she saw us. We will especially remember her around Chanukah where she and Meir insisted on hosting our Tanach study group where they served a spread that could feed the IDF. She was a true Sabra who was extremely proud of her Israeli heritage. May all of you be comforted with all the wonderful memories you have of her. Hamakom Yinachem Etchem B'Toch Sh'ar Availai Tzion V'Yirushalayim. With love...Andrea and David

My sincere condolences to the family for your loss. I met Alisa when we danced together in Nirkoda when we were young. We continued our friendship when we met again at our graduation services at York University I think Alisa and I would agree we were fated to be friends. I will miss our very stimulating conversations And above all a friend who was supportive and who cared.
