I was in a psychology class with Aliza this past summer. We saw one another almost every day for about a month and we were put into the same group to work on a final project together. I was so happy to be put into Aliza's group. She always greeted me a smile and a kind word. She was so warm, and easy to talk to. Aliza would talk about her daughter often. Aliza's love for Chani and her joy in being a mother to Chani were so apparent through the way she spoke, even when she was just telling me about Chani's nap schedule :). Taking care of Chani was her absolute priority, it was plain to see in the short time I spent with her.

May her neshama have an aliyah.
