Memories and Condolences
for Elizabeth Semenza
October 18, 2009
Dear Peter, Melissa, and Michael,
I was fortunate to know all of you. Melissa and Michael, my former second grade students at Robin Hood School, were a joy to have in my classroom. Liz was a lovely woman and very helpful to me when we had special times,and I needed an extra pair of hands. Having a parent invite you to their home,as she did for me, is very unusual. I can still see us sitting down and talking. I know losing a wife and a mother is one of the difficult tragedies one faces in life. I send you prayers, and wish for you to have peace once you have grieved. Liz will always be with you in your heart snd soul.
My special love to the whole family,
Judy Ditmars

Dear Peter, Melissa, and Michael,
We are very sorry to hear about Liz. I can still hear her joyous laugh and will always remember her vibrantly walking the lake. She was beautiful - outside and inside, and was always so proud of her family. Remember all the good times your family shared with Liz. She was special.
With love, Dolores, Joe, and family

To The Semenza Family,
I will always remember your mother and wife as being a happy and very loved person. I first met Liz at my neighbors house on Myopia Rd we were at my friends daughter's birthday party and my first impression was what a great person.
I last saw her at a wedding shower and she never let on that she was not feeling well she looked beautiful as ever and was joking and having fun. Liz was a wonderful person and will be missed by all.

Dear Peter,
Although I never met Liz, I will always think of her in the feathery scarf you gave her one Christmas - I think it was red. And I admire her bravery, and yours, during this long fight.
With deepest sympathy,

Liz: Some thirty years ago we met in childbirth classes carrying our girls, Melissa & Tarrah. A friendship formed in that we were more like sisters than friends. Through the years, we laughed, cried, and shared so many beautiful times as families together. My friend, I pray you are at peace and I thank you for being a part of my family's life. Peter, Melissa & Mike, hold on to Mom's love and memories as they will lead you through this most difficult time. Love & prayers, Linda, Tarrah & Derek

I am deeply sorry to read this. Not only was Liz a wonderful mother and wife, she was my friend long after her children left the Robinhood School.
My sympathy is theirs as are my prayers.
