Aunt Janet was a welcome and much loved addition to our family. When I think of her the first thing I see is her beautiful smile. I know the grief over her passing runs deep. Sending love and condolences to Uncle Dave and the Frisbie family.

Janet will be remembered fondly, as I carry her forth in my heart. She was one of the good ones.
You will remain in my thoughts as well, Dave. Janet was well served by your loving devotion to her care. Well done, my friend.

Heaven gained an Angel in the passing of this special lady. Janet has paved the way for all of us during her battle with cancer. Her endurance of the many side effects of cancer drugs during her treatments has made it possible for knowledge, research and testing beyond measure.
Our condolences to the family. May you find peace in knowing she gave so much
