We were so sad to hear of Mrs. Pollard's passing. My son David had her as his pre-school teacher about 10 years ago and often spoke of her remembering how nice she was to him. She would have to comfort him pretty much every day when I had to drop him off and leave in the morning. She was very special and very caring to all her students. She will be greatly missed.
