Lillian K. Semolic

Crying with a Smile
for Lillian
I have shed tears for this gentle soul
A favorite teacher of my child
A friend of mine for oh so long
She watched her sprigs
Her students sprout and grow
Just as she loved her garden
And cherished her fruits and flowers
Delighted in her walks
Observing all the while.
A warm, kind lady
My mind spools back
To her laughter
The twinkle in her eye
We often talked of family
And the hectic days
Of raising...

We're sorry to hear of your loss.

I met Lillian on a trip to Gaspe Canada, and we've remained friends ever since. She's been a good friend to me, and she will be greatly missed. My condolences to her family.

I taught with Lillian when I first began my teaching career. She was kind and helpful. We had 4 of us teaching grade 3-I will always treasure your mom.

Ann, Your Mom had to be a wonderful lady to have a daughter as special as you. It is never esy to lose a mother. Sending you and your family a big hug with love, Ric and Jodi Nadeau

I just had to send my condolence. Mrs. Semolic was my 3rd grade teacher and I have such fond memories. I would see her name in the editorials and wasn't sure if she still lived in Meriden. You know she was a good teacher if her students still remember her. She was a long term substitute for our third grade teacher who was ill at John Barry School. I did not see that she taught at John Barry but I sure remember her.. I even remember the poem we wrote for Halloween and also how she taught us...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this.Remember the good times,especially her 90th birthday at the Cape.

To your family, from ours; Please accept our deepest sympathy and condolences. Chet Rynaski
