Jonell Nash

I did my internship with Jonell at essence in 1995. She taught me so much. I adored and respected her. I have been trying to find her for years to contact her. I'm heart broken. I had no idea. She absolutely changed my life for the better. I am a better person for knowing her and experienced things I would have not normally experienced if it hadn't been for her. She even drove to RI where I was in college and came to visit and take me to lunch. She went above and beyond to mentor me.

To the Nash family,
So sorry for the lost of your loved one. Can someone have brother, Willie, get in touch with Wilbert (Mac)McDade.

Dear Aunt Jonell,
Your passing still has not registered in my mind nor heart. It seems like yesterday that we chatted about a vast range of subjects including economics and politics and especially food. You will always be remembered and your legacy cherished in the hearts of our children and children's and beyond. John and I and the children will miss you and we will anxiously await our moment to dine with you at heaven's table. Each year on February 14 we watch our wedding video. We...

My dear sister,

I cannot believe that you are gone. We spent so many years together sharing this journey called life, with enthusiasm, hope, joy and determination. You were such an inspiration and a rock for me. I couldn't have asked for a greater supporter. When I didn't believe in myself, you were there to remind me of my abilities, accomplishments and skills. Your faith in God and in our own creativity will remain like the quiet fire that you were in my being and in that of so many...
