I just found out Pauline had died. I am very sad. We met when she was in my psychology classes at PSU. I helped her get her advanced degrees and happily mentored her professional career. She was a warm, loving and supportive person and an effective psychotherapist. She also had an irreverent sense of humor, making her an entertaining friend. I live in California and can be reached at [email protected].

Pauline was our friend for many, many years. Throughout those years I never heard her say an unkind word about anyone. She always saw the bright side. Love you dear heart. There is an empty space now. Carol and Joe Torres
