    We wish to extend our sympathies to the family. The memories I have as her nephew are countless. I especially recall the Sunday afternoon trips to Shawnee beach; packing the cars with food to barbecue, and how Aunt Pauline would "bury" my sister and me in the sand on the beach. I still have the home movies! We also remember sitting on the front porch during the summers on 3rd avenue. She made the best iced tea. I loved watching her make chocolate/coconut cream pies in her kitchen. We loved her sense of humor. She was overflowing with personality! TJ and Marites Ciavarella
