We will cherish the family gatherings that we had the privilege of spending with her. May her warm smile and welcoming spirit be remembered always. We wish you all peace, love and comfort at this time.

  2. Jonel was my dear friend for over 30 years. I will miss the wonderful talks we had over the years. I will miss her laugh and beautiful smile.

  3. Jonel was my ‘other’ mother as Amy was my best friend in high school. I have so many great memories with her and her family. I love you all and Jonel will forever be in our hearts.

  4. Larry & Jonel were the best property managers. Jonel always had a sweet smile, and the most encouraging person I have ever known. She was truly a light for Jesus!

  5. Larry and Jonel were close friends of ours when we lived in Anaheim, Ca. Since moving north we lost touch with you both. Recently I reconnected with Jonel on Facebook. I’m so happy I was able to be in contact with her and keep up with her family. I will miss her but I do know I will reunite with her in heaven one day and sing with her once again.
