After 12 years at that location, the Jones family would like to thank Dominion Tower and its' management for their professional treatment and hold them in their highest regard.

August 2003

For the first time ever, Susan, Louis and Ryan collaborated and created a complete 360 mural. Through sweat, tears, and a little artistic squabbling, they finally achieved their goal of a painting that creates the illusion of an under and above water environment, complete with tropical fish and a wave crashing overhead.
*Coming soon to our site: A virtual tour of this environment, “Laney’s World”.
