I did not know him very well/ but I was very fortunate to be in his presense a couple of times. Jonta has always been very polite and modest/ I will keep his kids and his family in my prayers/ Just remeber to always look to the sky because GOD has all of you in the palm of his hand/ he knows all the answers/ We are judged by the works that we do! You dont have to worry about where jonta is because he has done many great things. Stay prayerful!
