I remember my mother telling stories of Marcille and Ellis getting together with my mom and dad probably more than 60 yrs ago and I think playing cards together. Mom was Dot Impson and my dad was Lloyd Impson (he died in 1963). I remember meeting them both when I was young. I know they had some good times together and I bet they are having even better times now celebrating in heaven. I am very sorry for your loss. I don't think I ever met any of the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
