Grandpa Staten




















Last night my Grandpa Staten passed away. He had been diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer about 5 weeks ago. It was very aggressive. The picture with he, Zion and Elijah was taken only 4 weeks ago. He left us around 7:00. We will miss him immensely, but we are happy that he is now comfortable. He had been in so much pain. We miss you Grandpa!

Im so sorry to hear that Nikki! I hope all is well with you guys! It is so hard when they are in pain and suffering! You don't want them to go, but on the other hand you don't want them in pain! Im glad you got some pics a few weeks ago!

I'm sorry Nikki. I know that it was a blessing for him to be at peace though. I will call you.
