I just learned of the passing of Miss Lillian. She was a major influence on my life. On behalf of myself and my son Michael, our deepest sympathies to Mr. Nick. May her memory be eternal.

I was saddened to read about the passing of "Miss Lillian". I was a former student of hers years ago when the studio was on Main Street and then on Farmington Avenue. We were all her ballerinas and how special she made us feel.

I am sure she still is a beautiful ballerina and is teaching all the angels above.

May she rest in peace

Some of my most cherished childhood memories are from my dance classes with "Miss Lillian". She nurtured my lifelong love of dance. I will never forget her.

My deepest sympathies. I always remember "Miss Lillian" with great fondness. I had 3 years of ballet with her (Main St & Farmington Ave). She made a lot of awkward girls feel very special.

I was a dance student of Lillian's many years ago. She was a wonderful teacher, and very dedicated to her students. May she rest in peace.
