Fuck cancer
it’s just not fair
The couple was so selfless, always trying to help others
And the poor kids
RIP Stacy

Lost my dad to pc as well. I think he was gone in 6-7 weeks from the diagnosis. Sore back and they couldn't figure out what it was causing it.Blessings and peace to the Wakefield family.
As someone who lost his Dad to pancreatic cancer in my teens, in a span of 6 months, it hurts to hear this and think of how those kids have had their world shattered and turned inside out in the last year.

Stacy would be there, accompanied by Brianna, by now a veteran of these events herself.
“Stacy was not in a great place physically,” Scherber said. “She sort of stayed in front of the clinic, sitting down. And I took Brianna around. All I could think of was how proud Stacy was of Brianna.”
A bit late on the reply but I hadn’t actually seen or read the statement till now. The statement containing that phrase came from the family.Speaking of the words, did the team purposefully phrase this as such: "The loss is unimaginable, especially in the wake of losing Tim just under five months ago."
Obviously they weren't trying to be clever in such a sad and somber announcement but seems strange. I noticed it right away.
RIP, Stacy.
Whenever you have symptoms, if it's pancreatic cancer, it's probably too late. This is an organization we supported after my sister died of it:Apologies if this isn't the proper place to post it, but I figure it can't hurt. This disease hitting people around my age is a shock to my mortality.
