Johnell was a friend of my mother Helen, and what a talented, intelligent and lovely person she was. Her ceramics were without par. El Paso was extremely fortunate for all of her contributions and to have had her as one of its exemplary citizens.

Jonell was a wonderful woman. She is now with her friends, Sisters Marquta and Donna. Sorry I missed the wake and funeral but I didn't hear about Jonell's passing until all events were over.

Sympathy and prayers at this time. What a "book" your Auntie was. Can you imagine all the stories that would fill its pages! Her obituary gave me chills. So happy that on many occasions she was in our midst. Thank you God for her companionship with us, the Sisters of St. Joseph. She and Sr. Marquita will have a great reunion.

Johnell was a courageous and caring woman who entered into the lives of the Sisters of St. Joseph for many years. We always enjoyed her presence at our place. Please know of our sympathy and prayers at this time. I am so sorry that none of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Concordia are in El Paso at this time to say good bye at the funeral. We are with all of you in spirit. Missy Ljungdahl
