Please Help the Kaster Family!

Our hearts are broken for our colleague and friend, Louise Kaster. Louise was one of our 6th grade teachers at Lorena Falaso Elementary. On Monday morning Louise didn't arrive to work. We all knew Louise to be the first one to arrive to work, and the last one to leave, so this was unlike her. Later that morning, we learned that Louise had been in a tragic car accident, and did not survive. Our LFE family is absolutely devastated. This was her first year at Lorena Falasco. After many years of being an instructional aide for Newman and Gustine schools, she decided to pursue her life long dream of becoming a teacher. Without a doubt, teaching was what Louise was meant to do. She had a very special relationship with each and every student. She loved them like they were her own kids, and they absolutely adored her. As you can imagine, this has been a tremendous loss for their fragile young hearts. Louise was an amazing addition to our campus. In the short time we worked with her, she has made a huge and positive impact on all who were lucky to know her. 
As amazing as Louise was as a teacher and colleague, she was even more amazing as a wife, mother, and new grandmother. Louise leaves behind her husband Nate of 32 years. Also, her three sons; Chris and his wife Fatima, Brett, and Daniel and his wife Addison. Daniel and Addison recently made Louise a new grandmother with the arrival of their daughter, Payton Louise. She was her pride and joy. 
The staff at Lorena Falasco Elementary wanted to set up this account to help her family financially. Please consider donating to the Kaster family to help them with the expenses that will accrue during this devastating time. We offer our sincere condolences to the entire Kaster family. For the members of our surrounding communities that can contribute, we want to give you our sincere heartfelt gratitude.  Mrs. Kaster will be missed!
