Ilan was a wonderful woman. I loved her laugh, it was so cute. I played pinochle with her & I know she loved the game.

Ilah played in our Vallejo Pinochle Fun Bunch Club for many years. Ilah won a trophy for getting a Boston Pinochle which is something very few people ever accomplish. Obtaining a Boston Pinochle is quite an accomplishment & something every pinochle player hopes to accomplish.
I always enjoyed visiting with Ilah & I loved her laugh. I will miss her. Ilah was always a joy! God & Ilah are going to have some really great conversations!
