Janna E. Paster

Still think of Janna often... clearly, she left/made quite an impression... loved her enthusiasm for teaching... I know she still lives on in the hearts of those she loved and who loved her, and the many lives she touched through teaching... a beautiful soul...

I still think of Janna all the time. We both began teaching in Franklin in the fall of '99.

To the Paster and Bellows Families:

I pray that she is now enjoying a pain free, joyous life with her special grandmother Profit and all of the other good people in heaven. I think of her every time I see that special rainbow that appeared on the day of her funeral. It was definitely Janna's rainbow! Gone from us, but never...

Dear Paster & Bellows families,

Warmly,
Kristin, Ben, Lucy, Eli, & Mary Marsalek
