Some of the graves belong to the famous that might otherwise be difficult to find. The roadside memorials are often driven past at speeds were they are barely noticed. Jonella will give you a little bit of information about who these folks were and amplify the voices of family and friends who tend these monuments. She’s a practicing road witch so you’re going to get a healthy dose of astrology, divination, and magick. Oh, and there will be occasional focuses on Medal of Honor recipients, the paranormal, and true crime. Basically, she’s a big old freak. Join her if this sounds like it’s up your alley.
