Alice Margaret Kriz

I met Alice in a photography workshop in Johannesburg in 1994, after Nelson Mandela had become President and when she was pregnant with Luke. She wanted to be able to take beautiful pictures of her baby when he arrived! She was so warm, smart, vibrant and wonderfully witty. I hoped we would become friends and it was such a joy that we did. We spent such special times taking photographs, meeting for coffee and delighting in our shared stories, dreams and the beauty of everyday. I remember her bringing over a bottle of champagne when I moved into a new house in her neighbourhood and sitting with her and Warren drinking it under the Willow tree in my garden . But it didn´t matter how mundane the occasion. Alice turned any event into a celebration. I admired her creativity, energy, and devotion to Warren and their beautiful children. We had sadly lost contact for far too long, living our lives on different continents. I´m shocked and so very sad to learn of her sudden passing last year. Sending love and strength to Mitchell, and the children who must be young adults by now. And to all the family and friends who were blessed to know her.

Alice and I were part of the small group of new girl Juniors at Miss Porter's in 1979. Her quick dry whit and brilliance always stood out and I can remember that laugh! I love reading about her many wonderful, heart-felt accomplishments! What a sad and tough time for her family and friends, my condolences. A deep reminder that everyday matters and all the time shared with friends, family and volunteering are truly a blessing!

So sorry to hear of Alice´s passing. I was her uncle by marriage. She was a wonderful human, American, woman, lady . . . just wonderful in every way .

God Bless Alice and receive her spirit and soul for Eternity!

My condolences to you and family Mitchell. May Alice´s soul rest in peace and may you and your family find strength, peace and comfort in the love she shared and the lives she touched in her lifetime. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
