Ms. Liana always blamed herself for my wife and I getting married due to making us practice piano together. We figure it was the best mistake she ever made. We miss her greatly and are saddened even more that our daughter did not get to meet her.

Liana was a joyful person to rehearse and perform with and a wonderful musician in her own right. Of all the pianists I rehearserd and performed with, I believe that I had the best time working with her. She will most certainly be missed.

Performing with Liana enabled me grow from a student into a more mature artist and professional. Not only did I respect her musician's spirit, but I also grew to know her wit and appreciate her kind encouragement. I have lost a great collaborator and a great friend. My most sincere condolences go out to her family and friends.

How we will all miss her! Liana was a gifted accompanist and a delightful person. In addition to her work at the Hodgson School of Music, she was my choral accompanist at my church for the five years I was in Athens. What a gift to us she was! She will certainly be missed.

Liana was a good friend and neighbor. We laughingly shared custody of a Zoltan the cat for three years. She was a testament of strength and endurance and it came through in her music. I will miss her greatly. My sincere condolences to her family, friends, students, and colleagues.
