Farewell Grandad Burton

In the early hours of the 10 August 2009, Grandad Burton passed away after a gruelling battle with cancer. He requested for the patriarch of Bristol stake to give him a blessing, just moments before he passed on. All of his family went to the hospital to say goodbye and it was a really emotional time.

He was only 71 years of age and it was a big shock to the Burton family as it all looked like the cancer had gone and he was cured. Sadly the cancer spread to his lungs and then he got a chest infection which then made his body shut down. He passed away peacefully in his sleep.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Nanny Burton and Dad, Aunty Rachel and Uncle Craig at this sad time. :(
