Former actress Janet Bordon has passed away. She was 61 years old. Her brother Rozel confirmed the news with GMA News Online.
“Aug. 29, from her last procedure at Stanford Hospital, the spreading of cancer in her body affected her internal organs and the medical doctors can’t do any surgery no more,” he said.
“She was sent home with the help of hospice nurses to take care of her. She was surrounded with the love and prayer vigils of the family ‘til her last breath.”
