Every day I strive to be half the teacher she is. She was my level 1 and level 2 teacher and I remember her fondly, especially her great sense of humor. It will be ten years ago this fall, when I took her classes. Thank you Lillian.

Lillian is my friend, neighbor and one time “attempted” walking partner. I could never keep up with her. And that is how she is in all aspects of her life. I now of no one who can keep up with her on any level. A great well deserved tribute, and as some one else commented – there is so much more.

Lillian,
You have been an inspiration to every life you have touched. Your dedication, commitment, and passion are evident in everything you do as was so beautifully shared in the article. I am eternally grateful to have had you as an instructor for Level 1 and 2. The conviction with which you shared your passion for teaching will live with me forever. The teacher I am today is all because of you and thank you for believing in me and sharing yourself with us all. You truly are amazing!!

Lillian Goodman Is an exceptional teacher and mentor. I was lucky to have her as my Vocational Education teacher, Level 1 at UCLA. Lillian’s example of a caring, yet firm teacher has made me into the teacher that I am today. I only wish she was still teaching level 2, the online class is not as personal and the human touch was missing. Thanks Lillian, You deserve the tribute and so much more!!

Lillian was tough as nails as my Level I instructor at UCLA. She was a role model from the beginning, as she readily managed a very large class of adult learners from very diverse academic and professional backgrounds.Yet, at the end of the class, she not only offered me an opportunity to teach in LAUSD nursing program, we began our relationship as mentor and friend. As nursing professionals, I would like to see more mentoring relationships with lifelong learners, such as Lillian, with new graduate nurses entering practice.

The article is a fitting tribute to an outstanding educator, nurse, and dear friend. I admire Lillian’s professionalism and integrity. I appreciate her generous assistance in developing and supervising nursing programs when we worked at LAUSD adult education sites. Years have passed and I am blessed to call her a constant friend.
