To the family of Jonas Powell,
I was blessed to be able to spend a short time volunteering with, and getting to know Jonas. What a wonderful man and beautiful soul.
He was so compassionate to the young people we tutored at Alternatives for Girls. He listened with a caring ear. Was soft spoken and sincere. Witty, funny and positive speaking at all times.
During a moment when we chatted. We learned that we shared a love of Jazz. I hoped for the opportunity to share that love in person one day with him. I will have to wait until we are together again, but I look forward to it.
Even though we haven't been together for a long time at AFG I think about him whenever I am there and I will continue to do so.
Eternal rest, grant unto Jonas, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
Amen.
