In the early 1970’s Kate was our first steady baby sitter. Paulina and my mother were close friends. I believe that it was Paulina who introduced my mother to ARE. My brother and sister both met their spouses through the ARE camp outside Wythville, VA. We joyfully celebrated Kate’s marriage to Sol and were heartbroken at their loss.

Paulina's house, was such a large part of how I remember her. Tall trees used to line the road, which made us feel separate from everyone else. It felt like a fairy garden! The wisteria grew over the arbor and covered the stone path, which led to her wood clad house.
When entered into her house, you were surrounded by plants hanging from the ceiling and potted on the tables. It was the most relaxed I ever felt walking into a home.
In the living room was a tall and wide cabinet that held a portion of her book collection. Knickknacks and keepsakes, from her traveling, were sprinkled around the room as well. There was not TV, but that was ok because she had a giant picture window over looking the pond in the back. It was so beautiful we always wanted to go out and explore.
When I asked about her daughter, Paulina showed me where her ashes had been. Paulina was never visibly upset, and seemed like she had accepted it. She never had trouble talking with us about death or any of the other topics we asked her about. After all the exploring and conversations, there were always cookies!
