Picture Wall
Jonell likes to hang pictures on the walls. When most people have photo albums of their pictures, usually grouped in the various stages of life. Jonell creates entire walls of those memories.

Journey Onward
We are authors of our own stories, and captains of our own ships. Life brings us inspiration from many sources and I believe those are sent to us from God. Maybe they come to us in a dream, in a breathtaking sunrise, or in a perfect stranger who walks into your hospital room one overcast…
