Sorrow Fills My Soul Today.
I wish I had better news for all of you today, but unfortunately it is not. My father Cliff has Cancer on his brain. Because of where the Tumors are located they cannot operate. All we can do right now is wait on a biopsy to find out exactly which type of cancer it is. It is one of two. Bad or really bad. The choices are slim. Basically all we are waiting for is to find out how much time we have with our Father. He told me to tell all of you that he loves you all very much and that this is what he has waited for all his life and he is not afraid. I know he is not afraid. This is Gods perfect process. For now we wait some more and do our best to enjoy each second. I love you all and I know we are in your thoughts. Thank you, Mindy
Thanks for sharing this Mindy and I am so very sorry. I know he means it when he sees this is what he’s waited for. I know he’s excited about meeting His Father and hearing those words, Well done, thy good and faithful servant! for He is and will continue to be. Cliff, I love you and am so very grateful that you are my cousin, my friend, my encourager, and my inspiration. We don’t see each other often but I always remember and never will forget you and how much you’ve helped me in difficult times and probably don’t even realize it. Please know you and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers and ANYTHING at all I can do for you besides love you and pray for you,because I’m already doing that, please, please, please let me know.
Your cuz

Mindy, sorry to hear the sad news. Although I have not met your Father I have spoken to him a couple of times on the phone and it was not long during our conversation that it was quite obvious he was a very kind and loving man. You are in my thoughts indeed.
Thank you for letting us know, Mindy. We love you and love your dad.
As he has taught me, there is no such thing as “your family” and “my family”. There’s just “us”.
Mindy
From the little bit of time I’ve had the pleasure of being around Cliff here at BoldGrace, I have no doubt that your Father is profoundly aware of, is secure in, and is thriving in the affectionate love of Daddy God and that any fear that might come his way in the days that lay ahead is continually being dissolved away. Please convey our love to him!
To Cliff and all the family – Thanks for keeping us updated. Aunt Barb called today and asked me to let everyone here know, so I have done that. Please know that the southern branch of the Hazelbaker family is with you in heart and prayer. We love you very much and know that your future is safely within the hands of our gracious Father. May He bless you with the best possible outcome and may you feel His comforting presence every step of the way. Love as always, Connie
Dear Mindy
I am so shocked. This has been so sudden. I can only imagine what an emotional roller coaster you are on. I too will embrace each second today.
God bless you all and hold you close.

We love you Cliff, Mindy and family.
Uncle Cliff,
You have been in my prayers and constantly in my thoughts. There are so many things I would like to say here, but the words just won’t come together in my mind. All that is important is that you know how much I love you. I’m praying selfishly for a miracle, but God is in control! You have such a peace about this journey of your life and it is so inspiring!
Love you
Love you all,
Mandy
