Jonesy lit a candle

“In loving memory of Ellen Anne O'Donnell Nalley, May your heart and soul find peace and comfort. Ellen was a wonderful person with a heart of gold. We had many fun times together, growing up: slumber parties, playing piano with her Dad Phil, swimming in her pool, listening to 45s on her portable record player, talking about life....It's so hard to believe she's gone. Her spirit will forever be with me.”
