Many condolences. I have thought about Kent & Mary Ann many, many times over the years. So sorry about your loss. Garr & Camille Ovard

My daughter Elle grew up with Liza in Lake Oswego. We had many sleep overs at our house. Liza was a super fun girl, who loved playing outside with Elle. Liza was always a pleasure to have over. Prayers and love to her family always ❤

She was a best friend. She was a beautiful person

Liza will forever be apart of our most cherished memories. all my love & prayers to her family.

My heart is breaking at this loss, tears for someone I never met. To all of Liza's family and friends, you are in my prayers. Over the past few days I have read much about Liza, her loving, selfless spirit seems to have shaped lives across countries. I am sure her work continues and her spirit lives on.

Liza was a special spirit! She will be missed so much. My greatest comforts and prayers to the Koski family who is loved so very much by their Portland family.
