I just wrote a lot of things on an article written by Ed Koch in the Las Vegas Sun newspaper. The article was for uncle Julie Weintraub's passing around 1997. He is Yeta's brother. I will write more to mention ant Yeta, as I already mentioned uncle Charles Weintraub (their brother), and my mom (their sister) Marilyn Ferto and her husband/my father Zoltan Ferto and other people. Yeta is very special. Her sister and family took many long car rides from New York City to visit Yeta, her family and Irwin (my mom's son) in South Fallsberg New York. We sometimes spent the next night after a long drive. Those visits in the 1980s and 1990s were plesent for all of us as surviving relatives know. Her Kosha home made things even more wholesome. She was very dear to many and a very decent woman. Her son's room was kept the same long after he made his family and home. I slept there a few times. It was very comfortable. This may not be the place for apologies, but maybe it is. Steven (her son) my mom's favorite nephew, had some playboy magazines in his desk draw form around the nineteen seventies. I use to sneak a look in those playboy magazines at those sexy Laddies. I think one magazine got a little damaged. I tried to fix it as best I could. I never got a chance to tell my cuzion I was sorry. So Steve, I am sorry about that. Back to Yeta, we all had fun going out to eat in some of those nice resurants in South Fallsburg. When I had that huge red cadilac with electric windows, that my Pop got me for graduating from college, we were cruising in style. Ant Yeta had the front seat. She told me her husband had a big cadilac that she drove in. With some family difficulties in Yeta's latter years, things got a bit tence. She never gave up trying to make the best of things. She is missed much by her sister Marilyn Ferto and her family. We were able to drive up to her wake, participate in driving in the funnel procession, burrial and prayers. We sat shiver at her son's house. My family and I wanted to stay longer for services. Her family was very upset so we had to leave for our drive back to the city. I still have a picture with my mom and ant Yeta on the wall. I also have a copy of a picture of my mom's and ant Yeta's grandmother on the wall in our home. Those pictures were taken in ant Yeta's apartment. That was a nice time to remember. Gazuntite and Zigerzunt to you ant Yeta. Thanks for your hospitality to my family and me. Your nepew and friend, and fellow earthling, Michael Ferto.

In loving memory of

Yetta
