Christine Frisbie I love my sister. She is now with another beloved sister, Arleta. It is comforting to know they are together. Clarice and I looked after each other. I always believed that she needed me and she believed that I needed her. We needed each other. She didn't want to leave me but knew I am in good hands with Vic. I know she is in good hands. Clarice far preferred animals to people. We were driving one day and there was an animal laying on the side of the road. She stated that she would rather see a human being on the road than an animal. I am not sure if she was kidding or not, but I laughed till I cried. Pretty sure though that she was serious. I feel cheated in a way because we retired to central Oregon with the full intent of taking Clarice fishing with us now that we would be 135 miles apart instead of 850. Fishing and gambling were her favorite fun things next to nature. It didn't happen due to her illness. I miss her....

Beverly Olsen Clarice taught me all about fishing. We had some good fishing times. Several years back Clarice took me on a fishing trip on the Mckenzie river, where she showed me how to clean a fish proper and then cook it.

Christine Frisbie I have posted pictures here in no particular order. I had a bit of a problem trying to date and caption them. Clarice had a huge heart that some may not have realized. The first note was saved since 1977. I wonder if Ronald ever gave her that $20.00. She was a very hard worker and proud of her accomplishments. I have posted a few of those. She was never more happy than when visiting with her son. She raised our neice Dannielle from the age of 6 months to 5 years loving her as only a mother loves their child. It still breaks my heart to think of the pain she endured when her mother showed back up after no contact for 4 and a half years and child protective services took Dannielle away from her stable home and broke two hearts. Clarice and I shared a great dislike for that particular group of state workers. This is the last picture that I took of Clarice.

Christine Frisbie I will probably come on here often to add to this. You can't lose a sister that meant the world to you without thinking of her daily. Pictures help. I miss her voice.

Christine Frisbie "Sisters are different flowers from the same garden" This was taken many years ago when I visited Clarice in Wilmington, Ca. She was new to her job at Lamps, Inc. and living in a tiny travel trailer. I slept on the love seat size couch.

My auntie clarice was the sweetest most honest person that anyone could ever have the pleasure of knowing. She didn't have a bad bone in her body and was there for me from the day I was born until the day she died. She was funny and had such a huge heart, I know sometimes it was hard for her to show her soft side, I believe that that was because ...
I remember that too, Maryanne, she bought us little mice dressed up in people clothes! I still have one!
For my sister who I will always love. Even though she is no longer here she will always be in my thoughts and prayers. My sister raised me through some of my most troublesome years (being a teenager). She was always there for everybody. Her heart was pure gold. I will always remember the years I lived with my sister. She taught me so much. Mostly ...
Just decided to visit Clarice today. I have a picture of her that comes on my screen saver whenever I go on the internet. I don't know why, but it showed up one day so I let it stay. In this picture it looks like she is looking right at me. I miss her so much.
