Sheanna and family - We just heard the sad news about Avner. Although we have been living in Israel for many years already, my husband, Itzik, and I remember getting together with you and Avner several times while we were living in Milwaukee. Avner and Itzik used to meet on Sunday mornings, as well, after dropping the kids off at Beth Israel Sunday School. Please accept our sincere condolences to you and the children. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sharon and Itzik Seluk (Rishon Le Zion, Israel)

Dear Hizmi Family,

I met Avi this year at a Waukesha Business Alliance meeting, and his great personality and ability to tell stories struck a chord with me right away! My son's middle name is Avi, and I will forever remember his kindness and generosity when I hear that name. Since our first encounter we have had many and the work that he has done for the Hebron House was great. He definitely had a heart for the mission!

Sincerely, Cathy Malkani, Hebron House staff member

Oh what a shock. Our prayers are with Avi as well as you and the family. We will truly miss Avi he was always the friendliest person in the neighborhood and any time we were at Lisa's (our daughter's house) he made a point of visiting with Jerry and I.

Blessings to you and the children, gifted upon your marriage to Avner - by the grace of God.

I found this notice when I decided to send a belated birthday card - you have been heavy on my mind...and your loss is now heavy on my heart.

Avner was my guardian angel when I came to Milwaukee 30+ years ago. He treated me better than a brother would.
I will forever thank you and miss you.

You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sheanna,
I was saddened to read of your great loss. I have thought of you and your family so often since you left Milwaukee Montessori. It was a joy working with your family, Avner always went out of his way to say hello and make sure I knew I was appreciated. You are all in my prayers during this most difficult time, please let Steven know he is especially in my thoughts.
Sincerely,

Avi, as he was known at T/M Leasing in Chicago many years ago, was always fun.
Not being an experienced golfer at that time, he didn't know golf carts were not to be driven through the sand traps! But, he did just that during one outing. Course management didn't think it was funny, but co-workers certainly did. I am so sorry for your loss.

The Jurva family will remember
Avner as a bright, funny, charming man and a loving, wonderful father to remarkable children. We will miss his company at the kids' events, but he'll be on our minds and in our hearts always. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sheana and the children.
