Liana

You did a beautiful job with the paper and you are very talented.  This is a tough economy.  Spend some time with your beautiful children and I am sure from that will rise another of your creations.  I look forward to reading about your successes.  Everything happens for a reason but we don’t know what it is until it happens.

Oh how very sad when I read this. I thoroughly enjoyed your paper and it will surely be missed. Maybe later when the economy improves you may start it up again.

We will miss you.

Liana,

You truly put forth a fabulous newspaper.  Your drive, professionalism and kindness are certainly an inspiration for all. 

I’m sure many readers are saddened to see The Billerica Green shut down paper operations.  I am hoping someone will come forward to sponsor your paper so it can continue in print.

I THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all you’ve done for the Lt. William C. West, Jr. Road Race and for the Town of Billerica.   WOW!!!  What a fabulous front page.  Jeff really did an amazing Job.   I wish the best for you and your family.  I wish you continued success in all your future ventures.

Sincerely,

Billy West, Billerica Police

Liana,

I was amazed at how quickly you turned an idea into reality, and how you became a media juggernaut and business expert, helping so many around you, whether it was promoting their event, supporting their endeavors, or helping their business reach a whole new client base. I've said it before, and I will say it again (and again and again), you are an inspiration. And you always will be. It's a sad day, and the town's a little less bright without the Green.

Max Bowen, Billerica Minuteman
