I remember Marcellas from when I was a child and was at the E.W.Lewis home in Tabiona with my friend Mary.I also remember Aunt Bliss and Bro. Mathew Cowley when he’d come to Tabiona with Mary’s uncle Marcellas. Then I met him again in Ivins at church a few times and again at Bro. Bill ‘s funeral. I was saddened at his passing and wish to express my condolences to his family. Sincerely Linda Thomas Gines ( I am Jep Thomas’ youngest daughter) Hanna, Utah
