Janet was a precious woman with a feisty spirit. She was a force within herself. She spoke often and fondly of her family. My memories of Janet include admiration, respect and gratitude. She taught me so very much. Janet was an angel to many of us. RIP Janet and thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

So sorry for your loss. Your mom was a wonderful person. I remember all the times I spent at your house, growing up on Remington. Your mom's smile light up the room. The other thing I remember about your mom was her whistle, when she was calling everyone home

I remember Janet as always smiling. She would stop and talk to me whenever she was in the Comptroller's office. I like her immediately, how could you not? You were very lucky to have her in your life. My deepest sympathy. Lois (Schrader) Gern Class of 1949 at SS peter and Paul's grade school, Hamburg,NY

Mrs. Strachan one of the truly good people in this world. I was fortunate enough to get to know Janets children through So. Buffalo Football and BLESSED to get to know Janet in my adult life. Janet and Scotty came into my life at a time when i needed an angel and 2 came walking in my door at work. I just wanted Tim, Pat and their siblings to know that because of Janet and Scotty I am living a very productive life now. So thank you for sharing her with me.
