"I'm so sorry for your loss. I met Pauline at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. She was one of my instructors, and I absolutely loved her. She was kind and so experienced. She offered so many practical ideas for me to implement. I have been teaching for 30 years now, and I think of her often with much fondness. My thoughts and prayers are with you. -- Ann Lykke-Jaros, St. Charles, IA"
