I have many fond memories of visiting Aunt Esther and Uncle Marty when they lived in Elmira Heights many, many yrs ago. They ran a small restaurant which we kids just loved to visit... Usually we were there on Sunday afternoons so they were closed but it was just a very neat place to be. We kept up on what our cousins were doing in these later years through our moms talking and then passing the news on... I will miss Aunt Esther and the whole 'era' when we had aunts and uncles instead of being the aunts and uncles... God Bless... rest in peace...
