Janna's our Hero

Dean's sister Janna is one amazing person. She faces challenges that most of us would never dream of. She has lost her hearing, her sight and her ability to walk. Despite this she is well educated, has a job she works at three days a week, and she continues forward with faith and perseverance. This past couple of weeks she got the opportunity to visit family in Utah with Dean's parents. Dean's brother Grant is on the BYU Football Team and he nominated her to be recognized for the hero she is to many of us.

This clip aired on the local news in Utah:

Congrats Janna! You are definitely one of our heroes!

It's so good that you posted this - such a great, continuing story. We were so glad to see your "Pennsylvania family" while they were here. Jana's awesome and not the only hero in that family!
Love always,
Mom
