Pauline retired from teaching from South Ridge just about the time I started teaching there. She was kind, helpful, patient and hard working. It was an honor to know her. Your family has suffered much loss in recent times. Stay close to one another and share the good with one another.

Dear Mr. Greear and family, Mrs. Greear was the most gracious lady ever. Ridgefield was lucky to have her at school and the community. Sincere condolences from the Johnston family.
