It has been a few years but I still remember her. She was a joy to work with and quite funny too. It was so sad and to have her leave.

I met Liana through her wonderful friend of many many years, Linda Rabenstein. Although we shared only one beautiful lunch together last summer on her deck along Lake Washington it was memorable. Liana was funny, gracious, kind and patient. She inspired me with her fortitude despite her diagnosis. Her spirit will live on in the wonderful memories she made with her friends and family. I am honored to have known her if only briefly. My sincerest condolences to all who loved her and will miss her.
