Sincere condolences of your loss ! My Aunt Joyce & Uncle Paul were friends with your parents. I remember when I was younger we were introduced to Winchester . I recall Janice being so wonderful and Pastors chalk drawings and bus rides to VBS and Pioneer Club. Years later, I began working for West Seneca Middle and became reaquainted with Janice at a meet & great with the Board of Ed. . She remembered my family and still spoke with my Uncle Paul. Recentlyny Aunt Joyce passed away and I went to Facebook to see if Janice knew. I m sorry I just saw this today. Prayers for your families.
Jennie (Sirotski) Gnojek
Sincere condolences to Janice's family and friends. I apologize for not being there, but I didn't know until yesterday. Janice was a wonderful woman who gave me my first opportunity to sing in church. I still have some shirts, which she bought for the men's quartet. May she rest in peace.
Janice played the organ and piano at our wedding and reception October 8, 1960. Even though we moved 3000 miles away to California in 1964, our friendship never diminished. Their family came to visit us in New Mexico and we took a visit across the border to Mexico. I can still see Tom in his giant sombrero! They also visited us in California. Her presence on Facebook has kept us up to date with family happenings and also with our home town of Winchester. We always looked forward to visiting Buffalo and our visits with Tom and Janice. I miss them both very much. My husband passed away Sept. 14, 2023. My deepest sympathy. Janet Sobottka
Jan would stop by my parents house with other women from church or by herself and would have coffee or tea with my mom , and in the summer pastor Dalbo would stop by to sit & talk with my dad ,they would drink my mom's sweet tea ,pastor enjoyed it immensely ,they would talk for however much time pastor had,my parents thought of them as friends first and foremost, they respected both of your parents very much, my mom was envious of Jan's musical talents
When I think of your dear mother, all I see is "The Giving Tree" for that was Jan. Always ready to give of herself at all cost and with your dear Dad by her side to spend their lives ministering to the people of God.. The fact is I bought the book for your Mom but never had the chance to give it too her.
I love them both so much. Even thought we were Catholics, they welcome us with open arms and never tried to change our ways. Surely they showed us the face of God. My heart goes out to you in your sorrow and I pray the memories of your Dad and Mom will comfort you …
